What is it called? (JONATHAN: I am sure you have heard folks talk about it; it is called Yankee Doodle.) Oh! it is the tune I am fond of; and, if I know anything of my mistress, she would be glad to dance to it. Pray, sing! JONATHAN (sings). Father and I went up to camp, Along with Captain Goodwin; And there we saw the men and boys, As thick as hasty-pudding. Yankee doodle do, &c. And there we saw a swamping gun, Big as log of maple, On a little deuced cart, A load for father's cattle. Yankee doodle do, &c. And every time they fired it off It took a horn of powder, It made a noise--like father's gun, Only a nation louder. Yankee doodle do, &c. There was a man in our town, His name was-- No, no, that won't do. Now, if I was with Tabitha Wymen and Jemima Cawley down at father Chase's, I shouldn't mind singing this all out before them--you would be affronted if I was to sing that, though that's a lucky thought; if you should be affronted, I have something dang'd cute, which Jessamy told me to say to you.
