  Sing Yankee Doodle, that fine tune, Americans delight in;
      D7                  G       (Em)      A        7        D
  It suits for peace, it suits for fun, it suits as well for fighting.

  If Frenchmen come with naked bum, we'll spank 'em hard and handy. 
  
  Bold Adams did in Seventy-Six our Independence sign, sir
  And he will not give up a jot tho' all the world combine, sir
  
  Our Adams guides the helm, no harm or any storm can weather
  The Fed'ral Constitution boys, and President forever
  
  [Jeffersonian Response]
  See Johnny at the helm of State head itching for a crowny
  He longs to be, like Georgy, great and pull Tom Jeffer downy
  
  
  [French references come from 1798 French attack on neutral American shipping during Anglo-French conflicts.. The "our Adams" verse is adapted from a seperate song, 'Federal Constituion and Liberty Forever' by Mr Milns (?), 1798)
