Macaroni

Remember the song Yankee Doodle Dandy?
Well, now, his real name was Tony
They claim he went to town one day
And even invented macaroni

Well, I've got a story to tell you
They may be a bit of a surprise
Everything they sung about
Was nothing but a whole bunch of lies

First of all he wasn't a yankee
He was born in the state of Kentucky
He didn't have no pony either
He had a great big yellow rubber ducky

See, Tony just wasn't very bright
His IQ was only three
Dumb as a box of hammers
And as ugly as could be

The kind of face only a mother could love
Well, maybe, a mother could like
He's been that way all of his life
From the time he was just a tyke

Now, Tony like to play with earthworms
But it was a word he just couldn't say
So he called them worms macaroni
For that's the only thing he ate all day

And about that thing he called a town
Well that was only his toilet
I was gonna tell you earlier
But I just didn't wanna spoil it

That's the story of Yankee Doodle Dandy
And every word I said is true
The feather and the hat is a whole other story
But for now this will have to do
