YANKEE DOODLE.
No 3.


Yankee Doodle! long ago,
They played it to deride us;
But now we march to victory,
And that's the tune to guide us.
Chorus: Yankee Doodle! ha, ha, ha!
Yankee Doodle Dandy!
How we made the Rebels run,
At Yankee Doodle Dandy!

To fight is not a pleasant game;
But, if we must, we'd do it;
When Yankee Doodle once begins,
Our Yankee Boys go through it.
Yankee Doodle, &c.

And let her come upon the sea,
The insolent Invader
For there the Yankee Boys will be
Prepared to serenade her.
Yankee Doodle, &c.

Yankee Doodle! how it brings
The good old days before us!
Two or three began the song,
And millions joined the chorus:
Yankee Doodle, &c,

Yankee Doodle! not alone
The Continent will hear it;
But all the world shall catch the tune,
And every Tyrant fear it.
Yankee Doodle, &c.
