Once in a time old Johnny Bull	A
Flew in a raging fury	B
And swore that Jonathan should have	C
No trials sir by jury	B
That no elections should be held	D
Across the briny waters	E
And now said he I'll tax the tea	B
Of all his sons and daughters	E
Then down he sate in burly state	F
And blustered like a grandee	F
And in derision made a tune	G
Called Yankee doodle dandy	F
Yankee doodle these are the facts	H
Yankee doodle dandy	F
My son of wax your tea I'll tax	I
You Yankee doodle dandy	F
	-
John sent the tea from o'er the sea	F
With heavy duties rated	F
But whether hyson or bohea	J
I never heard it stated	F
Then Jonathan to pout began	K
He laid a strong embargo	L
I'll drink no tea by Jove so he	J
Threw overboard the cargo	L
Next Johnny sent an armament	F
Big looks and words to bandy	J
Whose martial band when near the land	F
Played Yankee doodle dandy	J
Yankee doodle keep it up	M
Yankee doodle dandy	J
I'll poison with a tax your cup	M
You Yankee doodle dandy	J
	-
A long war then they had in which	N
John was at last defeated	F
And Yankee doodle was the march	O
To which his troops retreated	F
Young Jonathan to see them fly	P
Could not restrain his laughter	Q
That tune said he suits to a T	J
I'll sing it ever after	Q
Old Johnny's face to his disgrace	R
Was flushed with beer and brandy	J
E'en while he swore to sing no more	S
This Yankee doodle dandy	J
Yankee doodle ho ha he	J
Yankee doodle dandy	J
We kept the tune but not the tea	J
Yankee doodle dandy	J
	-
I've told you now the origin	T
Of this most lively ditty	J
Which Johnny Bull pronounces dull	U
And silly what a pity	J
With Hail Columbia it is sung	V
In chorus full and hearty	J
On land and main we breathe the strain	W
John made for his tea party	J
No matter how we rhyme the words	X
The music speaks them handy	J
And where's the fair can't sing the air	Y
Of Yankee doodle dandy	J
Yankee doodle firm and true	Z
Yankee doodle dandy	J
Yankee doodle doodle doo	Z
Yankee doodle dandy	J
