The Battles of Lexington and Concord

[jon_berzerk]

April 19th 1775

Yankee Doodle went to town,
Riding on a Pony,
Stuck a feather in his cap,
And called him Macaroni,

Yankee Doodle keep it up,
Yankee Doodle Dandy,
Mind the music and the step,
And with the Girls be handy.

Father and I went down to camp,
Along with Captain Gooding,
And there we saw the men and boys,
Thick as Hasty Pudding

Yankee Doodle keep it up,
Yankee Doodle Dandy,
Mind the music and the step,
And with the Girls be handy.

There was Captain Washington,
Upon a slapping stallion,
Giving orders to his men,
I guess there were a million.

Yankee Doodle keep it up,
Yankee Doodle Dandy,
Mind the music and the step,
And with the Girls be handy.
