Yankee Doodle Yankee doodle had a cat, and he was double-jointed. He took him to the blacksmith's shop to get his pecker pointed. Chorus; Yankee doodle, doodle doo, Yankee doodle dandy, Yankee doodle, keep right on and keep the money handy. Oh, Yankee doodle had a cat, and he was folly frolicked, [sic] Everytime he caught a rat, he caught him by the bollocks. From the William Bigford collection gathered by Paul Gifford prior to 1982.
