Yankee Rose


What? well, let me roll up on to the sidewalk and take a look…
yes, whoa! she's beautiful
i'm talkin' about a yankee rose
and she looks wild, wild, wild, wild!
Are you ready for the new sensation
well here's a 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
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
(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
something's in the air
yeah, the feeling gets you
a real state of independence
so pretty when her rockets flare
still provin' every night
that her flag's still there
She's a vision from coast to coast
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
(your) bright lights
and your city lights, all right
i'm in love with a yankee rose
Oh she's beautiful all right
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's got the beat
and there's a little bit
comin' your way
Oh 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...
