Chu Berry - Yankee Doodle Never Went to Town (feat. Billie Holiday) - Take 1 lyrics

Artist: Chu Berry

album: The Columbia And Victor Sessions, Vol. 1


Yankee Doodle never went to town
I've just discovered the story was phony
Let me give you all the real lowdown
He didn't even own a pony
He was really very short and fat
While in the story, so skinny and bony
And so hungry that he ate his hat
And called the feather, "Macaroni"
Underneath the chestnut tree
He and the blacksmith would sip their tea
Then, he'd bring out his zither for an old lowdown
That's how he went to town
Yankee Doodle tried to leave one day
Took his belongings and mounted his saddle
But he never started on his way
'Cause he didn't have a pony
And the fairy tale is phony
How could Yankee Doodle go to town?
