Written by：Freed Hanighen

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
