洋基．嘟得儿，

骑着小驹进城去，

帽上插根羽毛，

称爲时髦哥儿。

(合唱)

洋基．嘟得儿，加把劲儿，

洋基．嘟得儿，时髦哥儿，

留心音乐和脚步，

轻巧地伴着姑娘舞。

我爹和我上军营，

跟古丁上尉同行，

在那我们看见许多士兵，

密密麻麻就像玉米布丁。

在那儿我们看见上千人，

都是戴维财主一样的有钱人；

他们每天挥霍的东西，

我真想能够省下一丝。

还有那首领华盛顿，

骑着一匹高头骏马，

向部下发号施令，

我猜准有上百万人。

在那我看到一小桶，

它的盖是用皮做的，

他们用两根棒击它，

把士兵召集到一起。

在那我看到一尊巨大的炮，

大得就像一根长长的枫木，

架在一辆坚实的小车上，

要我爹的牛来拉。

每次他们开炮，

得装一牛角火药，

响声就像我爹的枪，

只是大大超过枪声。

啊，乱七八糟一大堆，

我连一半都说不全，

于是我脱帽鞠个躬，

急奔回家去找娘亲。

洋基．嘟得儿，

美利坚人就爱这曲儿，

它可供你吹哨、唱吟或弹奏，

而且在战斗时有它最带劲。

Yankee Doodle went to town,

A ridin’ on a pony,

Stuck a feather in his cap

And called it Macaroni.

CHORUS:

Yankee Doodle, keep it up,

Yankee Doodle Dandy,

Mind the music and the step

And with the girls be handy,

Father and I went down to camp,

Along with Captain Gooding,

And there we saw the men and boys

As thick as hasty pudding.

And there we saw a thousand men,

As rich as Squire David;

And what they wasted every day,

I wish it could be saved.

And there was Captain Washington

Upon a slapping stallion,

A-giving orders to his men;

I guess there was a million.

And there I saw a little keg,

Its head was made of leather;

They knocked upon it with two sticks

To call the men together.

And there I saw a swamping gun,

As big as a log of maple,

Upon a mighty little cart,

A load for father's cattle.

And every time they fired it off

It took a horn of powder,

And made a noise like father's gun,

Only a nation louder.

I can't tell you half I saw,

They kept up such a smother,

So I took my hat off, made a bow

And scampered home to mother.

Yankee Doodle is the tune

Americans delight in,

'Twill do to whistle, sing or play

And just the thing for fightin'.
