Yankee Rose

David, what?

Where are you at?

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

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 (perfect host)

Show me your bright lights

In your city lights, alright

I'm talkin' 'bout the Yankee Rose

Bright lights in your city lights, alright

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 (it will be like cancer)

A real state of independence

So pretty when her rockets glare

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

In your city lights, alright

I'm talkin' 'bout the Yankee Rose

Bright lights in your city lights, alright

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

Raise 'em up there, let's see who salutes, baby

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
