Yankee Rose

What?

Well let me roll up onto the sidewalk and take a look.

Yes. Wo! 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 backroom 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

(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 go flyin'

Firecrackin' on the 4th 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' 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

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 the Yankee Rose

Oh she's beautiful, all right.

Mm, 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

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
