Yankee Rose lyrics
by David Lee Roth



What? Well, let me roll up on the sidewalk

And take a look yes

Whoa she's beautiful

I'm talkin' 'bout a Yankee Rose

And she looks wild, wild, wild, wild



Are you ready for the new sensation

Well here's a shot heard 'round the world

All you back room boys salute

When her flag unfurls

Well guess who's back in circulation

Now I don't know what you may 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 (head to toe)



Show me your bright lights

And your city lights, all right

I'm talkin' bout the Yankee Rose

Bright lights

And your city lights, all right

I'm talkin' bout it



When she walks watch the sparks will fly

Firecrackin' on the Fourth of July

No sad songs tonight, something's in the air

You can feel it can't you?

A real state of independence

So pretty when her rockets flare

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' bout the Yankee Rose

Your bright lights

And your city lights, all right

I'm in love with a Yankee Rose



Ahh she's beautiful all right

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's got the beat

And there's a little bit

Comin' your way



Ahhh raise 'em up there

Let's see who salutes baby

Little bit, little bit, little bit higher

Here's the National Anthem



I'm gonna get a little bit

Of apple pie

Bright lights, city lights

Bright lights, city lights

Bright lights, city lights
