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
