Youre The Top
At words poetic Im so pathetic
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 Ill probably miss a bar,
But if this ditty is not so pretty,
At least itll tell you how great you are.
Youre the top! youre the collosseum,
Youre the top! youre the louvre museum,
Youre the melody from a symphony by strauss,
Youre a bendel bonnet,
A shakespeare sonnet,
Youre mickey mouse!
Youre the nile! youre the towr of pisa,
Youre the smile, on the mona lisa!
Im a worthless check, a total wreck, a flop!
But if baby Im the bottom,
Youre the top!
Youre the top, youre mahatma gandhi,
Youre the top! youre napoleon brandy,
Youre the purple light, of a summer night in spain,
Youre the national gallery, youre garbos salary,
Youre cellophane!
Youre sublime, youre a turkey dinner,
Youre the time, of the derby winner,
Im a toy balloon thats fated soon to pop;
But if baby Im by the bottom youre the top!
Youre the top, youre a waldorf salad
Youre the top, youre a berlin ballad
Youre the nimble tread of the feet of fred astaire
Youre an oneal drama, youre whistlers mama, youre camembert
Youre a rose, youre infernos dante
Youre the nose, on the great durante
Im a masy leroux whos just about to stop
But if baby Im the bottom,
Youre the top!
