The Singing Scoutmaster: Yankee Doodle

G                           

Yankee Doodle went to town  

G                 

Riding on a pony  

G               C           

Stuck a feather in his hat  

    D             G     

And called it macaroni  

Chorus:

C                         

Yankee Doodle keep it up  

G                    

Yankee Doodle dandy  

C                            

Mind the music and the step  

    G        D        G      

And with the girls be handy  

G                               

Father and I went down to camp  

G                           

Along with Captain Gooding  

G                    C             

And there we saw the men and boys  

   D              G        

As thick as hasty pudding  

-Chorus

G                             

There was Captain Washington  

G                         

Upon a slapping stallion  

G             C           

Giving orders to his men  

  D                 G        

I guess there was a million  

-Chorus

G                                

And there we saw a thousand men  

G                        

As rich as Squire David  

G                    C          

And what they wasted every day  

  D                G       

I wish it could be sa-ved  

-Chorus

G                                

And there I saw a pumpkin shell  

As big as mother's basin  

G                   C               

And every time they touched it off  

     D                  G       

They scamper'd like the nation  

-Chorus
