The song was originally sung by the British side to mock Americans, however the Americans took ownership of the song and began to sing it themselves, to turn the intended put-down into a source of pride after, though outnumbered, they managed to turn the British back at Lexington and Concord.

What does Yankee Doodle keep it up and with the girls be handy mean?
"Yankee Doodle" began as a British song ridiculing America's ragtag militia. Yankee doodles were simpletons riding ponies and trying to look sophisticated by sticking feathers in their hats. One explanation for"Yankee Doodle, keep it up. Yankee Doodle, dandy. Mind the music and the step and with the girls be handy." is that the words were sung by the British as a reminder to the Yankees that dance steps in Europe were different from those in America. The Yankees were being reminded to check to see that they were doing the dance steps correctly and holding the girl the correct way.
