Album: Best of David Lee Roth

Yankee Rose

What? Well let me roll up onto the sidewalk and take a look.
Yes! Wo! She´s beautiful!
- I´m talkin ´bout a Yankee Rose. Ans she looks wild, wild, wild.

Are you ready for the new sensation
Well here´s a shot heard round the world
All you backroom boys salute
When her flag unfolds
Well, guess who´s back in circulation
Now I don´t know what you might have heard
But what I need right now´s
The original good time girl

(chorus)
She´s a vision form 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´ about the Yankee Rose
(Bright lights)
And your city lights, all right

I´m talkin´ about it

When she walks
Watch the sparks go flyin´
Firecrackin´ on the 4th of July
No sad songs tonight
Somethings in the air
Yeah, the feeling gets you
A real state of independence
So pretty when her rockets fly
Still provin´ any night
That her flag´s still there

(chorus)

I´m in love with the Yankee Rose

(spoken)
Oh, she´s beatiful, 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 there´s a little bit
Comin´ your way

(spoken)
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
(repeat and fade)
