I'm a Yankee Doodle dandy,
A Yankee Doodle do or die;
A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam's
Born on the Fourth of July.

I'm no cranky hanky panky, I'm a dead square honest Yankee
And I'm mighty proud of that old flag that flies for Uncle Sam
Though I don't believe in raving, ev'ry time I see it waving
There's a chill runs up my back that makes me glad I'm what I am.
