The Yankee Doodle Boy
Verse 1: I'm the kid that's all the candy, I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy,
I'm glad I am, so's Uncle Sam.
I'm a real live Yankee Doodle, made my name and fame and boodle,
Just like Mister Doodle did, by riding on a pony.
I love to listen to the Dixie strain, "I long to see the girl I left behind me;"
And that ain't a josh, she's a Yankee, by gosh.
Oh say can you see anything about a Yankee that's a phony?
Chorus: 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've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart, She's my Yankee Doodle joy.
Yankee Doodle came to London just to ride the ponies;
I am the Yankee Doodle boy.
Verse 2: Father's name was Hezikiah, Mother's name was Ann Maria,
Yanks through and through; red, white and blue.
Father was so Yankee hearted, when the Spanish war was started,
He slipped on his uniform and hopped upon a pony.
My mother's mother was a Yankee true, my father's father was a Yankee too;
And that's going some, for the Yankees by gum.
Oh say can you see anything about my pedigree that's phony?
Chorus: 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've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart, She's my Yankee Doodle joy.
Yankee Doodle came to London just to ride the ponies;
I am the Yankee Doodle boy.
I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart, She's my Yankee Doodle joy.
Yankee Doodle came to London just to ride the ponies;
I am the Yankee Doodle boy.
I am the Yankee Doodle boy.

Revised Words by George D. Lottman
Original Lyrics
Verse 1: Stand Navy down the field, sails set to the sky.
We'll never change our course, so Army you steer shy-y-y-y.
Roll up the score, Navy, Anchors Aweigh.
Sail Navy down the field and sink the Army, sink the Army Grey.
Verse 2: Get underway, Navy, Decks cleared for the fray,
We'll hoist true Navy Blue So Army down your Grey-y-y-y.
Full speed ahead, Navy; Army heave to,
Furl Black and Grey and Gold and hoist the Navy, hoist the Navy Blue
Verse 3: Blue of the Seven Seas; Gold of God's great sun
Let these our colors be Till all of time be done-n-n-ne,
By Severn shore we learn Navy's stern call:
Faith, courage, service true With honor over, honor over all.
