Yankee Doodle stayed at home,

Cooking for his pony.

Put fat spaghetti in a pot,

And called it macaroni.

Yankee Doodle, stir it up.

Let it gently simmer.

Add the pepper and the salt,

And that's your pony's dinner.

Mac-mac-mac, mac-macaroni.

See that pony eat it up.

Sim-sim-sim, simmer that dinner.

Now you're cookin' with gas. Yeah!

Oh, Yankee Doodle stayed at home,

Cooking for his pony.

Put fat spaghetti in a pot,

And called it macaroni.

Macaroni. See that pony.

Now you're cookin' with gas. Yeah!
