F IVE FACTS ABOUT “YANKEE DOODLE”
When the song refers to “macaroni”, it’s not talking about the
cheesy food, it is talking about the wigs that the British wore
The tune of the song came from the nursery rhyme “Lucy
Locket”
“Doodle” means fool, or simpleton
Yankee Doodle was written during the Revolutionary war in
1755 Dr. Richard Schuckburg
Schuckburg was a British surgeon, and wrote the song after
seeing colonial troops lead by Colonel Thomas Fitz Jr.
