Yankee Doodle went to Vote
A-riding 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 Vote,
And 'round the town be handy.
Fath’r and I went down to vote
Along with many millions,
But there we found our vote don’t count
As much as those with billions.
(Optional Chorus)
Sister said it got this way
Because of Gerrymander
Some man who tied the polls in knots
So he could play commander.
Yankee Doodle keep it up,
Yankee Doodle Dandy,
Mind the Music and the Vote,
And 'round the town be handy.
Our candidate was tell’n how
Our system is so olden,
We get to vote for only one,
And so our country’s stolen.
(Optional Chorus)
She said a better kind o' vote
Was rankin' who we’re good fer,
We mightn’t get our number one,
But won’t get stuck a loser.
Yankee Doodle keep it up,
Yankee Doodle Dandy,
Mind the Music and the Vote,
And 'round the town be handy.
The votin' line was awful long,
I could not get no water,
Some law said we must suffer so,
Like lambs awaitin' slaughter.
(Optional Chorus)
Missus Jane I saw her faint
Right in the heat beside us.
She wouldn’t go to hospital,
For fear of bankrupt-itus.
Yankee Doodle keep it up,
Yankee Doodle Dandy,
Mind the Music and the Vote,
And 'round the town be handy.
Missus Jane she passed away,
I saw her final breathing,
Policemen came and said to go,
Our vote was lost by leaving.
(Optional Chorus)
Our candidate she lost the day,
By just our Father’s one vote,
The other guy we saw him wave
From Mister Money’s big boat.
Yankee Doodle keep it up,
Yankee Doodle Dandy,
Mind the Music and the Vote,
And 'round the town be handy.
Mister Money says it’s fine
Our world is gettin' better,
Father does not like to talk,
He fears a pink-ish letter.
(Optional Chorus)
I am like a little child,
The land is big and fearful,
I hope to help when I grow up,
To make the world more cheerful.
Yankee Doodle keep it up,
Yankee Doodle Dandy,
Mind the Music and the Vote,
And 'round the town be handy.
