Yankee Rose

What? 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 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 is

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 talking 'bout the Yankee Rose

(Your) bright lights

And your city lights, all right

I'm talking bout it 



When she walks

Watch the sparks will fly

Fire cracking on the Fourth 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 flare

Still proving 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 talking '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

Nothing 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



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 want to get

A little bit of apple pie man 



Bright lights, city lights

Bright lights, city lights...
