“Yankee doodle dandy.”
George P. Morris.
A parody of “Yankee Doodle,” too coarse for republication here, will be found in An Impartial Collection of Addresses, Songs, Squibs, &c., published during the Liverpool Election, October. 1812. It is principally directed against Henry (afterwards Lord) Brougham, one of the candidates.
The mighty Brougham’s come to town,
To sweep away corruption,
And other filth, but ten to one,
He’ll meet with interruption.
Yankee Doodle, etc.
