It makes a noise like father's gun,
D

only a  nation louder

the heads were made of leather

They knocked upon with little clubs
D 
G 
and called the folks together
C 
Yankee Doodle kicked it up,
G 
Yankee Doodle dandy

And there was Captain Washington
D

and gentle folks about him
D

They say he's grown so tarned
and proud
D

he will abride without them

Locked up in mother's chamber
