"Yankee Poodle Tony"

[mac56]

I've read many references to this song today, but haven't heard it. Can anyone point me toward a link, or print lyrics? It sounds like a keeper.

Yankee Poodle Dandy (aka The Blair Pitch Project)

Yankee Poodle went to town,
He was such a phoney,
Sidled up to Uncle Sam,
Learnt to talk baloney,

Yankee Poodle, keep it up,
Yankee Poodle Dandy,
Mind the Music you will pay,
The understudy’s handy.

Dandy and George went off to talk,
Sailed away with Captain Stubb'in,
Followed them, cabinets combined,
Thick as hasty puddin'.

Yankee Poodle, keep it up,
Yankee Poodle Dandy,
Mind the Music you will pay,
The understudy’s handy.

“We will make war on Iraq,
Even with us only,
With hi-tech we will attack,
Or my name’s not Tony,”

Yankee Poodle, keep it up,
Yankee Poodle Dandy,
Mind the Music you will pay,
The understudy’s handy.

“De-mock-racy we will install,
New leaders we'll select some,
Brother Jeb will oversee,
George will thank his best son,”

Yankee Poodle, keep it up,
Yankee Poodle Dandy,
Mind the Music you will pay,
The understudy’s handy.

“Bra-ver-y won't be our badge,
Yellow our dis-col-our,
Rain hell-fire by remote,
Make dead both child and mullah,”

Yankee Poodle, keep it up,
Yankee Poodle Dandy,
Mind the Music you will pay,
The understudy’s handy.

"People say we ain’t so brave,
We'd never risk a lickin'
Sure that's true we don't fight fair,
But aren't all bullies chicken?"

Yankee Poodle, keep it up,
Yankee Poodle Dandy,
Mind the Music you will pay,
The understudy’s handy.

When will his party disown him?
Coalition of the only,
Throw ‘im off his high horse?
Toss him from his pony?

Yankee Poodle, keep it up,
Yankee Poodle Dandy,
Mind the Music you will pay,
The understudy’s handy.

Sheep's Head and Vinegar,
Butter Milk and Tansy,
Was London ever Yankee town?
Sing Goodbye my Poodle Dandy.

Yankee Poodle, keep it up,
Yankee Poodle Dandy,
Mind the Music you will pay,
Your understudy's handy

Time is up my Poodle dear,
Phoney threat and phoney foe,
Evil war, a world in fear,
Heed the call and simply go!

Yankee Poodle keep it up,
Yankee Poodle’s Fancy,
We don’t want war with Iraq,
Show the world you can see.

Cau-cus room you shed a tear,
Message is “we’ve had enough”,
Pity you? new Poodle Peer,
Pity who? your life ain’t tough.

Yankee Poodle, kept it up,
Yankee Poodle Dandy,
Faced the Music he did pay,
Retirement was handy

[The Zanti Regent]

4. Reminds me of the Ewan McColl version many years ago. . .

from the Vietnam era:

"Yankee Doodle came to town,
H-Bombs in his pocket;
'Chum, if you don't toe the line
I'll blast you with a rocket!'

Yankee Doodle, Uncle Sam,
Batman, also Superman,
All the way to Vietnam
Goes Yankee Doodle Dandy"

(etc)
