Quotes I'm a Yankee Doodle dandy,    A Yankee Doodle do or die; A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam's    Born on the Fourth of July. "The Yankee Doodle Boy", chorus Little Johnny Jones (1904 musical) I'm no cranky hanky panky, I'm a dead square honest Yankee And I'm mighty proud of that old flag that flies for Uncle Sam Though I don't believe in raving, ev'ry time I see it waving There's a chill runs up my back that makes me glad I'm what I am.
