Lyrics

Yankee Doodle never went to town
 I've just discovered the story was phony
 Let me give you all the real lowdown
 He didn't even own a pony
 He was really very short and fat
 While in the story, so skinny and bony
 And so hungry that he ate his hat
 And called the feather, "Macaroni"
 Underneath the chestnut tree
 He and the blacksmith would sip their tea
 Then, he'd bring out his zither for an old lowdown
 That's how he went to town
 Yankee Doodle tried to leave one day
 Took his belongings and mounted his saddle
 But he never started on his way
 'Cause he didn't have a pony
 And the fairy tale is phony
 How could Yankee Doodle go to town?
