Yankee Rose Songtext
von David Lee Roth

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
