Yankee Doodle Never Went To Town (10/25/35) |
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? |
