Lyrics David Lee Roth

David Lee Roth

Yankee Rose

What?

Well, let me roll up on to the sidewalk and take a look, yes

Whoa! She's beautiful!

I'm talking about a Yankee Rose

Ha ha ha ha ha

And she looks wild, wild, wild, wild!

Are you ready for the new sensation?

Well, here's the 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 (care to toast)

Show me your bright lights

And your city lights, all right

I'm talkin' 'bout the Yankee Rose, yeah

Your 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, somethin's in the air

Yeah, the feeling getcha, wow

A real state of independence

So pretty when her rockets glare

Still prove it 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, yeah

Bright lights in your

City lights, all right

I'm in love with the Yankee Rose

Ah, 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 here's a little bit comin' your way, wow

Aah, raise 'em up there, let's see who salutes, baby

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Little bit, little bit, little bit higher

Here's the national anthem, here

I wanna get a little bit a' apple pie, man

Bright lights, city lights

Bright lights, city lights

Bright lights, city lights
