Yankee doodle never went to town |
|
I just discovered the story was phony |
|
Let me give you all the real low-down |
|
He didn't even own a pony |
|
He was really very short and fat |
|
While in the story so skinny and moany |
|
And so hungry that he ate his hat |
|
And called the felt macaroni |
|
Underneath the chestnut tree |
|
He and the blacksmith would sip that tea |
|
Then he'd bring out his uniform down |
|
That's how he went to town |
|
Yankee doodle tried to leave one day |
|
Took his belongings and mounted his saddle |
|
But he never got it on his way |
|
Cause he didn't have a pony |
|
And the fairy tale is phony |
|
How could yankee doodle go to town? |
