The maccaroni
The song says cap.
Oh, dude, Yankee Doodle is just a dude who's rocking a feather in his cap and riding a pony. Keeping it up probably means he's just maintaining his cool vibe, and being handy with the girls... well, let's just say he's probably good at charming the ladies with his feather and pony combo. It's all just old-timey slang, man.
