George Gershwin - Yankee Doodle Rhythm lyrics

Talk about the music of the Sirens
And the pipes of Pan
Talk about the music of the minstrel
And Pied Piper man
Well, sir, their day is through now
For everything is blue now
Listen to the piping of the jazzbo
Real American

Oh, Yankee Doodle rhythm is in demand
In every land upon the map
Yankee Doodle rhythm they love it so
The Eskimo the Greek and Lapp
It's an insidious rhythm
Making the universe dance
Carrying everything with 'em every gringo
Speaks the lingo it'll start a riot
Of stamping feet it's got a beat
That brings good news it's the daily diet
Of every band in this land
Of blues dancing that tick-l-ish tempo
Everything else is passé
Yankee Doodle rhythm it wins the cup
It's burning up the world today!
