Yankee Doodle

Yankee Doodle went to town
one very windy day,
stuck a feather on is cap
and then he flew away.

Yankee Doodle whirled about
like an acrobat,
took the feather off his cap
and landed with a splat.

Yankee Doodle’s tombstone has
this message etched upon it –
“He took his feather off his cap
but should have left it on it.
