《Yankee Doodle Never Went to Town(Take 1)》歌词

[00:00:00] Yankee Doodle Never Went to Town (78rpm Version) - Billie Holiday (比莉·哈乐黛)

[00:00:55] Yankee Doodle never went to town

[00:00:58] I just discovered the story was phony

[00:01:01] Let me give you all the real low-down

[00:01:04] He didn't even own a pony

[00:01:06] He was really very short and fat

[00:01:10] While in the story so skinny and moany

[00:01:13] And so hungry that he ate his hat

[00:01:15] And called the felt macaroni

[00:01:19] Underneath the chestnut tree

[00:01:21] He and the blacksmith would sip that tea

[00:01:25] Then he'd bring out his uniform down

[00:01:28] That's how he went to town

[00:01:30] Yankee Doodle tried to leave one day

[00:01:33] Took his belongings and mounted his saddle

[00:01:36] But he never got it on his way

[00:01:39] Cause he didn't have a pony

[00:01:42] And the fairy tale is phony

[00:01:43] How could Yankee Doodle go to town
