Yankee Rose Lyrics

David Lee Roth

Are you ready for the new sensation?
Well here's the shot heard 'round the world
All you backroom 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 goodtime girl

She's a vision from coast to coast
sea to shining sea
Hey sister, you're perfect host

Show me your bright lights and
your city lights, all right
I'm talkin' 'bout the Yankee Rose
Bright lights in 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
She's a real state of independence
So pretty when her rockets glare
still provin' any night that her flag is still there

She's a vision from coast to coast
sea to shining sea
Hey sister, you're perfect host

Show me your bright lights and
your city lights, all right
I'm talkin' 'bout the Yankee Rose
Bright lights in your city lights, all right
I'm in love with the Yankee Rose

Ah, she's beautiful, alright
mm, 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

Bright lights, city lights, alright
I'm talkin' 'bout the Yankee Rose
Bright lights in your city lights, all right
I'm talkin' 'bout it

(repeat to fade)
