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's the original goodtime girl
She's a vision from coast to coast
Sea to shining sea
Hey, sister, you're perfect host
Show me your bright lights and your city lights, all right
I'm talkin' 'bout the Yankee Rose
Bright lights in 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
She's a real state of independents
So pretty when her rockets glare
Still provin' any night that her flag is still there
She's a vision from coast to coast
Sea to shining sea
Hey, sister, you're perfect host
Show me your bright lights and your city lights, all right
I'm talkin' 'bout the Yankee Rose
Bright lights in your city lights, all right
I'm in love with the Yankee Rose
Ah, she's beautiful, alright
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 here's a little bit comin' your way
Bright lights, city lights...
