Yankee Doodle came to town
Riding on a pony;
Stuck a feather in his cap
And called it macaroni.Edward Bangs
Dressing up in costumes, playing silly games
Hiding out in tree-tops shouting out rude names
— whistling tunes we hide in the dunes by the seaside
— whistling tunes we piss on the goons in the jungle.
It’s a knockout.Peter Gabriel
These Yankee politicians are the lowest race of thieves in existence.
John Sparrow Thompson
All literary men are Red Sox fans—to be a Yankee fan in a literate society is to endanger your life.
John Cheever
..the virtue of Yankee upbringing spiritually speaking is of more downright value to me than any past heritages.
