Yankee Rose
David Lee Roth
What?
Well let me roll up onto the sidewalk and take a look
Wo! She's beautiful!
I'm talkin about a Yankee Rose
And she looks wild, wild, wild
Are you ready for the new sensation
Well here's a shot heard round the world
All you backroom boys salute
When her flag unfolds
Well, guess who's back in circulation
Now I don't know what you might have heard
But what I need right now's
The original good time girl
She's a vision from coast to coast
(Coast to coast)
Sea to shining sea
(Sea to shining sea)
Hey, sister you're the perfect host
(As a toast)
Show me your bright lights
And your city lights, all right
I'm talkin' about the Yankee Rose
Bright lights and your city lights, all right
I'm talkin' about it
When she walks
Watch the sparks go flyin'
Firecrackin' on the 4th of July
No sad songs tonight
Somethings in the air
Yeah, the feeling gets you
A real state of independence
So pretty when her rockets fly
Still provin' any night
That her flag's still there
She's a vision from coast to coast
(Coast to coast)
Sea to shining sea
(Sea to shining sea)
Hey, sister you're the perfect host
(Make a toast)
Show me your bright lights
And your city lights, all right
I'm talkin' about the Yankee Rose
Bright lights and your city lights, all right
I'm in love with the Yankee Rose
Oh, she's beautiful, alright
Mmm, nothin' like her in the whole world.
Yeah!
She's right on time
I'm on the case
Pick up the phone
No time to waste
She got the beat
And there's a little bit comin' your way
Oh, raise 'em up there, let's see who salutes, baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Little bit, little bit, little bit higher
Here's the mast, swing 'em from here
I wanna get a little bit of apple pie, man
Bright lights, city lights
Bright lights, city lights
Bright lights, city lights
