Lyrics
Say, here’s a word I want to say
Say, have you ever been away?
Have you ever missed the good old U. S. A.?
When you get that itching in your shoes
Go to any other land you choose
See how quick you get those
“Yankee Doodle Blues”
You’re singing
Refrain
There’s no land so grand as my land
From California to Manhattan isle
North and South my sunny skyland
I love ev’ry mile
When I hear “Yankee Doodle”
That melody keeps on ringing in my ear
“Yankee Doodle” that melody
Makes me stand right up and cheer
“I’m coming” U. S. A. I’ll say I love you
Make me lose those “Yankee Doodle Blues”
Performance
