[Intro David Lee Roth, Steve Vai's Talking Guitar]
David?
What?
Where are we at?
Well, let me roll up onto the sidewalk and take a look, yes
Whoa!
Whoa
She's beautiful!
[Wolf whistle]
I'm talking about a Yankee Rose
(Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha)
And she looks wild, wild, wild, wild!

[Verse 1]
Are you ready for the new sensation?
Well, here's the 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 is the original good-time girl

[Pre-Chorus]
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)
[Chorus]
Show me your bright lights
And your city lights, all right
I'm talkin' 'bout the Yankee Rose
Bright lights
And your city lights, all right
I'm talkin' 'bout it

[Verse 2]
When she walks, watch, the sparks will fly
Firecrackin' on the fourth of July
No sad songs tonight, somethin's in the air
Yeah, the feeling gets ya, wow

A real state of independence
So pretty when her rockets glare
Still prove it any night that her flag's still there

[Pre-Chorus]
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)

[Chorus]
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
Ah
[Bridge]
Ah, she's beautiful, all right
Mmm, nothin' like her in the whole world
Yeah

[Verse 3]
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, wow

[Bridge]
Aah, raise 'em up there, let's see who salutes, baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Little bit, little bit, little bit higher
Here's the national anthem, here, yeah, yeah
I wanna get a little bit o' apple pie

[Outro]
Bright lights, city lights
Bright lights, city lights
