George M. Cohan - Yankee Doodle Boy lyrics

I'm the kid that's all the candy I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy I'm glad I am (So's Uncle Sam) I'm a real live Yankee Doodle Made my name and fame and boodle Just like Mister Doodle did, by riding on a pony I love to listen to the Dixey [Dixie] strain "I long to see the girl I left behind me" And that ain't a josh She's a Yankee, by gosh (Oh, say can you see Anything about a Yankee that's a phoney?) I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy A Yankee Doodle, do or die A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam Born on the Fourth of July I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart She's my Yankee Doodle joy Yankee Doodle came to London Just to ride the ponies I am the Yankee Doodle Boy Father's name was Hezikiah Mother's name was Ann Maria Yanks through and through (Red, white and blue) Father was so Yankee hearted When the Spanish War was started He slipped upon his uniform and hopped up on a pony My mother's mother was a Yankee true My father's father was a Yankee too And that's going some For the Yankees, by gum (Oh, say can you see Anything about my pedigree that's phoney I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy A Yankee Doodle, do or die A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam Born on the Fourth of July I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart She's my Yankee Doodle joy Yankee Doodle came to London Just to ride the ponies I am the Yankee Doodle Boy
