A re-working of George M. Cohan's 'Yankee Doodle Dandy' with additional lyrics

lyrics

21st Century Yankee Doodle Dandy

Well Iʼm the kid thatʼs all the Candy
A Yankee Doodle Dandy
Born on the fourth of July
I like my macaroni ridinʼ on a pony
I wouldnʼt tell you no lie

The girls all think Iʼm handy
When I get free and spendy
Iʼm not like some other guys
Iʼm the kid thatʼs all the candy
A Yankee Doodle Dandy
I wouldnʼt tell you no lie....

“Hey, hold on there soldier! Where you goinʼ with that song?”
“Why who are you?”

Iʼm a Yankee Doodle Dandy
Yankee Doodle do or die
A real live shipmate of my Uncle Sam
Born on the Fourth of July
Iʼve got a Yankee Doodle floosie
Sheʼs my Yankee Doodle joy
Yankee Doodle went to Portland Just to ride the streetcar
I am that Yankee Doodle Boy

(slowly)
Well Iʼm the kid thatʼs all the candy
A Yankee Doodle Dandy
I wouldnʼt tell you no lie
