Yankee doodle never went to town
扬基佬压根没进过城
I just discovered the story was phony
我刚发现这故事纯属虚构
Let me give you all the real low down
让我告诉你真相如何
He didn't even own a pony
他连匹小马都没有
He was really very short and fat
实际又矮又胖真可笑
While in the story so skinny and moany
故事里却瘦弱总哀嚎
And so hungry that he ate his hat
饿得连帽子都啃掉
And called the feather macaroni
还管羽毛叫通心粉
Underneath the chestnut tree
在那栗子树荫下
He and the blacksmith would sip that tea
他与铁匠共品清茶
Then he'd bring out his uniform all low down
然后炫耀他那寒酸的制服
That's how he went to town
这就是他进城的模样
Yankee doodle tried to leave one day
洋基佬某天试图远行
Took his belongings and mounted his saddle
收拾行装却找不到马鞍
But he never got it on his way
但他始终未能如愿启程
'Cause he didn't have a pony and the fairy tale is phony
只因没有骏马相伴 童话终究是谎言
How could yankee doodle go to town
扬基佬怎可能进城去
