Oh, The grand old Duke of York,
He had ten thousand men;
He marched them up to the top of the hill,

And when they were down, they were down,
And when they were only half-way up,
They were neither up nor down."

14. Y is for You Put Your Whole Self In

You put your right hand in,
You put your right hand out,
You put your right hand in,
And you shake it all about.
You do the Hokey Pokey
And you turn yourself around,
That's what it's all about.

You put your left hand in,
You put your left hand out,
You put your left hand in,
And you shake it all about.
You do the Hokey Pokey
And you turn yourself around,
That's what it's all about.

You put your right foot in,
You put your right foot out,
You put your right foot in,
And you shake it all about.
You do the Hokey Pokey
And you turn yourself around,
That's what it's all about.

You put your left foot in,
You put your left foot out,
You put your left foot in,
And you shake it all about.
You do the Hokey Pokey
And you turn yourself around,
That's what it's all about.

You put your whole self in,
You put your whole self out,
You put your whole self in,
And you shake it all about.
You do the Hokey Pokey
And you turn yourself around,
That's what it's all about.


15. Yankee Doodle

Yankee Doodle went to town,
Riding on a Pony,
Stuck a feather in his cap,
And called him Macaroni,

Yankee Doodle keep it up,
Yankee Doodle Dandy,
Mind the music and the step,
And with the Girls be handy.

Father and I went down to camp,
Along with Captain Gooding,
And there we saw the men and boys,
Thick as Hasty Pudding

Yankee Doodle keep it up,
Yankee Doodle Dandy,
Mind the music and the step,
And with the Girls be handy.

There was Captain Washington,
Upon a slapping stallion,
Giving orders to his men,
I guess there were a million.

Yankee Doodle keep it up,
Yankee Doodle Dandy,
Mind the music and the step,
And with the Girls be handy.
