 You ain’t gonna bother me no more
Nohow
Love goes just so far
No more
Woke up this morning and found
I didn’t care for you no more
Nohow
Never felt so good before
You’re down to my size
It’s over and done
So honey step down from your throne
That look in your eyes
Don’t bother me none
Can take you or leave you alone
From my window
Skies ain’t gray no more
Not now
Here’s the day
That I’ve been waiting for
Got only one heart
One heart with no spares
Must save it for loving
Somebody who cares
So you ain’t gonna bother me
No more
No more

Yankee Doodle Never Went to Town

283. Yankee Doodle Never Went To Town

Arthur Freed & Bernie Hanighan

rec date type # discography tk rec time
1935 MT 11 Complete on Columbia v.1 11 2’44”

Yankee Doodle never went to town

I just discovered the story was phony

Let me give you all the real low-down

He didn’t even own a pony

He was really very short and fat

While in the story so skinny and moany

And so hungry that he ate his hat

And called the felt macaroni

Underneath the chestnut tree

He and the blacksmith would sip that tea

Then he’d bring out his uniform down

That’s how he went to town

Yankee Doodle tried to leave one day

Took his belongings and mounted his saddle

But he never got it on his way

Cause he didn’t have a pony

And the fairy tale is phony

How could Yankee Doodle go to town?
