A-Riding on a pony;
He stuck a feather in his cap,
And called it macaroni.
Doodle first came around meaning fool or idiot. When macaroni is mentioned, it’s meant to mean macaroni wig. The little song means that the Yankee’s are so uncivilized and lower in class that just sticking a feather in their hat would make them part of the high fashion.
