Yankee Doodle Never Went To Town |
| Miscellaneous |
| YANKEE DOODLE NEVER WENT TO TOWN |
| Arthur Freed / Bernie Hanighan |
| 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? |
