Lyrics
Yankee Doodle in Berlin Verse: Yankee Doodle rode upon a bony pony, He was just a clown, but still he got to town, Hindenburg, although his heart was stony, phony, Never got to see dear old Paree, Refrain: But Yankee Doodle always goes to town, And Yankee Doodle’s in Berlin. Each tearful German who calls it a “cheek” Tells it to Herman, then he “bawls a week” (cry‐baby) Yankee Doodle made a German thin, He’s even lost his double chin. All the Linden trees shake a “shimmie” in the breeze, For lanky Yankee Doodle’s in Berlin. Verse: What about the Kaiser’s Paris dinner, Sinner! was it very much? He only got in Dutch. And though Yankee Doodle is a thinner, winner, He’ll never go anywhere, And on the square, For, Refrain
