Sides face grand square
I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy
Yankee Doodle do or die, reverse
A real live nephew of my uncle Sam
Born on the fourth of July, four ladies chain
Straight across and turn them, chain back
Straight across, keep this girl and promenade
Yankee Doodle went to London, just to buy a pony
I am that Yankee Doodle boy
FIGURE Basic, R-H lady progression

Look for the corner, allemande left, grand right & left
Cause I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy
Pass your partner by, take the next, promenade
Yankee Doodle went to London, just to buy a pony
I am that Yankee Doodle boy
