At words poetic, I'm 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
|
And 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 LeRoy
|
You're the Coliseum.
|
You're the top!
|
Oh baby
|
You're the Louver Museum.
|
You're a melody from a symphony by Strauss
|
You're a Bendel bonnet,
|
A Shakespeare's sonnet,
|
You're Mickey Mouse.
|
You're the Nile,
|
You're the Tower 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 LeRoy!
|
You're Mahatma Gandhi Hiram.
|
Mmm 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, Mmm of a Derby winner
|
I'm a toy balloon that's fated soon to pop
|
But if, baby, I'm the bottom,
|
But if, baby, I'm the bottom,
|
But if, baby, I'm the bottom,
|
You're the top!
|
|
You're the top!
|
You're an arrow collar
|
LeRoy you're the top!
|
You're a Coolidge dollar,
|
You're the nimble tread
|
Of the feet of Fred Astaire,
|
You're an O'Neill 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 just in a way,
|
As the French would say, "de trop".
|
But if, baby, I'm the bottom,
|
But if, baby, I'm the bottom,
|
But if baby, I'm the bottom,
|
You're the top!
|
|
You're a Waldorf salad.
|
You're just the top!
|
You're a Berlin ballad.
|
You're the boats that glide
|
On the sleepy Zuider Zee,
|
You're an old Dutch master,
|
|
You're Lady Astor,
|
Baby you're broccoli!
|
You're romance,
|
You're the steppes of Russia,
|
You're the pants, on a Roxy usher,
|
I'm a broken doll, a fol-de-rol, a blop,
|
|
But if, baby, I'm the bottom,
|
But if, baby, I'm the bottom,
|
But if, baby, I'm the bottom,
|
You're the top!
