6. With " Hail Columbia ! " it is sung. 

 In chorus full and hearty; 

 On land and main we breathe the straio, 

 John made for bis tea-party. 

 "Yaiikee doodle — ho! ha! he! 

 Yankee doodle dandy, 

 We kept the tune but not the tea, 

 Yankee doodle dandy!" 



'. No matter how we rhyme the words, 

 The music speaks them handy. 

 And Where's the fair can't sing the air 

 Of "Yankee doodle dandy!'' 

 "Yankee doodle, firm and true, 

 Yankee doodle dandy, 

 Yankee doodle, doodle doo! 

 Yankee doodle dandy.
