Way back there , in 1776 , Washington and his men
Crossed the mighty Delaware , to protect this land
And as the British shot their muskets , as the battle rose
You could hear , o'er the cry , the song the whole world knows , oh
Yankee Doodle , keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step , and keep the girls so handy
In 1812 ,  in New Orleans
General Jackson came
And with the men from Tennessee , on that fateful day
He rammed the British to the sea , down to Mexico
With bullets , and a song to sing , the whole wide world would know , oh
Yankee Doodle , keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step , and keep the girls so handy
And on the sea , with John Paul Jones , as the ship went down
The British asked:"Do you give up?Are you prison bound?"
"I have not begun to fight!" The answer that he gave
And a tune that the world could not turn away , oh
Yankee Doodle , keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step , and keep the girls so handy
And every time a fighting man takes a stand , you know
We ought to play another verse , play it loud and slow
For history can repeat , and like he went to town
We ought to back our fighting men
Lord , don't let'em down , oh
Yankee Doodle , keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step , and keep the girls so handy
Yankee Doodle , keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step , and keep the girls so handy
