Quotes
edit- 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.- "You're a Grand Old Flag", verse 2
- George Washington, Jr. (1906 musical)
