Yankee Rose Lyrics By David Lee Roth

    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
