Connecticut State Song (Vocal) Yankee Doodle

The song was a pre-Revolutionary War song originally sung by British military officers to mock the disheveled, disorganized colonial "Yankees".

Father and I went down to camp
Along with Captain Gooding
And there we saw the men and boys
As thick as hasty pudding.

CHORUS:
Yankee Doodle, keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy

There was Captain Washington
Upon a strapping stallion
Giving orders to his men
I guess there was a million.

CHORUS:
Yankee Doodle, keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy.

Yankee Doodle went to town
Riding on a pony
He stuck a feather in his hat
And called it macaroni.
