Ira Gershwin - Yankee Doodle Rhythm lyrics

(Verse) Talk about the music of the Sirens And the pipes of Pan Talk about the music of the minstrel And Pied Piper man Well, sir, their day is through now For everything is blue now Listen to the piping of the jazzbo Real American (Chorus) Oh, Yankee Doodle rhythm Is in demand In every land Upon the map Yankee Doodle rhythm They love it so The Eskimo The Greek and Lapp It's an insidious rhythm Making the universe dance Carrying everything with 'em Every gringo Speaks the lingo It'll start a riot Of stamping feet It's got a beat That brings good news It's the daily diet Of every band In this land Of blues Dancing that tick-l-ish tempo Everything else is pa**é Yankee Doodle rhythm It wins the cup It's burning up The world today!
