洋基‧嘟得兒，

騎著小駒進城去，

帽上插根羽毛，

稱為時髦哥兒。

(合唱)

洋基‧嘟得兒，加把勁兒，

洋基‧嘟得兒，時髦哥兒，

留心音樂和腳步，

輕巧地伴著姑娘舞。

我爹和我上軍營，

跟古丁上尉同行，

在那我們看見許多士兵，

密密麻麻就像玉米布丁。

在那兒我們看見上千人，

都是大衛財主一樣的有錢人；

他們每天揮霍的東西，

我真想能夠省下一絲。

還有那首領華盛頓，

騎著一匹高頭駿馬，

向部下發號施令，

我猜準有上百萬人。

在那我看到一小桶，

它的蓋是用皮做的，

他們用兩根棒擊它，

把士兵召集到一起。

在那我看到一尊巨大的炮，

大得就像一根長長的楓木，

架在一輛堅實的小車上，

要我爹的牛來拉。

每次他們開炮，

得裝一牛角火藥，

響聲就像我爹的槍，

只是大大超過槍聲。

啊，亂七八糟一大堆，

我連一半都說不全，

於是我脫帽鞠個躬，

急奔回家去找娘親。

洋基‧嘟得兒，

美利堅人就愛這曲兒，

它可供你吹哨、唱吟或彈奏，

而且在戰鬥時有它最帶勁。

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'.
