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!
