Thomas Jefferson returned
From Italy with a crony
Brought back pasta shaped like smiles
And called it Macaroni
Yankee noodles, small and hard
Boiled in pot that's handy
Makes a very tasty meal
Just wash 'em down with brandy

I Googled on the Internet
Found research there to aim from
Some say the Arabs, some Chinese
Confusion - where first came from..
Yankee noodles, small and hard
Boiled in pot that's handy
Makes a very tasty meal
Just wash 'em down with brandy

The base is flour made from wheat
First shipped in on a gallion
The dough rolled thin, cut into snips
Dries tough as hoof of stallion
Yankee noodles, small and hard
Boiled in pot that's handy
Makes a very tasty meal
Just wash 'em down with brandy

Yankee noodles, mix with cheese
Cook till it's not boney
Tasty dining here, old chap
We love our macaroni
Yankee noodles, eat 'em up
Makes a dinner dandy
Chew 'em, lick 'em like a pup
It's better than sweet candy..

Yankee noodles, small and hard
Boiled in pot that's handy
Makes a very tasty meal
Just wash 'em down with brandy
