Peggy Seeger
Yankee Doodle
Yankee Doodle came to town
H-bombs in his pocket
Says, "Chum if you don't toe the line
I'll blast you with me rocket!"
[HOOK]
Yankee Doodle, Uncle Sam
Batman also Superman
Known from here to Viet Nam
As Yankee Doodle Dandy
Yankee Doodle went to Mars
Landed on a Sunday
Found some people living there
And killed 'em off by Monday
[HOOK]
Yankee Doodle went to work
As hard as he was able
Bombing schools and hospitals
And babies in the cradle
[HOOK]
Yankee Doodle's got a plan
It's called 'Defoliation'
Tried it out in Viet Nam
To civilize the nation
[HOOK]
Yankee Doodle, he's the boy
For rape, assault and pillage
Never lets a day go by
Without he burns a village
[HOOK]
Yankee Doodle never crosses
Over any border
Except to kill more people
In the name of law and order
[HOOK]
Yankee Doodle feels that he
Is not appreciated
He's generous with his napalm
And yet, somehow, he's hated
[HOOK]
Yankee Doodle's got the know-how
Death is what he teaches
And Mr. Health just shows his teeth
And murmurs little speeches
[HOOK]
