| That I always have found it best
|
| Instead of getting 'em off my chest,
|
| To let 'em rest — unexpressed.
|
| I hate parading my serenading,
|
| As I’ll probably miss a bar,
|
| But if this ditty is not so pretty,
|
| At least it’ll tell you how great you are.
|
| You’re the top! |
| you’re the collosseum,
|
| You’re the top! |
| you’re the louvre museum,
|
| You’re the melody from a symphony by strauss,
|
| You’re a bendel bonnet,
|
| A shakespeare sonnet,
|
| You’re mickey mouse!
|
| You’re the nile! |
| you’re the tow’r of pisa,
|
| You’re the smile, on the mona lisa!
|
| I’m a worthless check, a total wreck, a flop!
|
| But if baby I’m the bottom,
|
| You’re the top!
|
| You’re the top, you’re mahatma gandhi,
|
| You’re the top! |
| you’re napoleon brandy,
|
| You’re the purple light, of a summer night in spain,
|
| You’re the national gallery, you’re garbo’s salary,
|
| You’re cellophane!
|
| You’re sublime, you’re a turkey dinner,
|
| You’re the time, of the derby winner,
|
| I’m a toy balloon that’s fated soon to pop;
|
| But if baby I’m by the bottom you’re the top!
|
| You’re the top, you’re a waldorf salad
|
| You’re the top, you’re a berlin ballad
|
| You’re the nimble tread of the feet of fred astaire
|
| You’re an o’neal drama, you’re whistler’s mama, you’re camembert
|
| You’re a rose, you’re inferno’s dante
|
| You’re the nose, on the great durante
|
| I’m a masy leroux who’s just about to stop
|
| But if baby I’m the bottom,
|
| You’re the top! |
