When Yankee Doodle Teddy Boy Comes Marching Home Again 1910

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 23 Dec 2003

Roosevelt has travelled
many miles from home,
to hunt big game in Africa he had to roam.
He took his gun and Kermit his son,
and wandered very many miles
across the foam.
In ev'ry corner of the earth
they knew his name,
he ought to have a tablet in the Hall of Fame.
He's not the kind that you can scare,
he doesn't fear the bull or bear,
and ev'rybody knows that he is game.
Each Yankee heart will yearn
for Teddy to return.

When Yankee Doodle Teddy Boy
comes marching home again,
with trophies of the mighty hunt,
and beasts that he has slain,
We will all be waiting at the pier
to greet him with a mighty cheer,
when Yankee Doodle Teddy Boy
comes marching home again.

When Yankee Doodle Teddy Boy
comes marching home again,
with trophies of the mighty hunt,
and beasts that he has slain,
We will all be waiting at the pier
to greet him with a mighty cheer,
when Yankee Doodle Teddy Boy
comes marching home again.

All the native tribes in Africa, they say,
Came to meet this hunter from the U.S.A.
He took command,
and they thought him grand,
they made him Big Chief, Bwana Tumbo,
right away.
Even down in Africa he's gained renown,
you hear his name most ev'ry day
in Jungle Town.
All the tribes his praises sing,
they asked him if he'd be their king;
They offered him a diamond studded crown.
His book will be a bird,
one dollar for each word.

When Yankee Doodle Teddy Boy
comes marching home again,
with trophies of the mighty hunt,
and beasts that he has slain,
We will all be waiting at the pier
to greet him with a mighty cheer,
when Yankee Doodle Teddy Boy
comes marching home again.

When Yankee Doodle Teddy Boy
comes marching home again,
with trophies of the mighty hunt,
and beasts that he has slain,
We will all be waiting at the pier
to greet him with a mighty cheer,
when Yankee Doodle Teddy Boy
comes marching home again.
