Along with Captain Gooding
And there we saw the men and boys
As thick as hasty pudding

Yankee doodle, keep it up
Yankee doodle, dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy

And Cthere I saw one thousand men
As rich as Squire DaGvid

FYankee doodle, keep it up

To Ggive to my dear Cmama
[Chorus]
FYankee doodle, keep it up
CYankee doodle, dandy
GMind the music and the step
And Cwith the Ggirls be Chandy
