Sung to me by my mother in the 1940s to the well-known tune

we've got some chickens in our back yard,
we feed them on Indian corn,
And some lay eggs and some lay bricks
And some lay nothing at all.

Yankee Doodle, yankee doodle,
I lost the leg o' my drawers;
Yankee doodle, yankee doodle,
Will you lend me yours.
