|
At words poetic, I'm so pathetic |
|
That I always found it best |
|
Instead of getting 'em off my chest |
|
To let 'em rest unexpressed |
|
I hate parading, serenading |
|
As I'll probably miss the bar |
|
But if this ditty is not so pretty |
|
At least it'll tell you how great you are |
|
You're the tops |
|
You're the Colosseum |
|
You're the top |
|
You're the Louvre 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 |
|
Mama, 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 Crosby's salary |
|
You're cellophane |
|
Mama you're sublime |
|
You're a turkey dinner |
|
Oh, you're the time of a Derby winner |
|
I'm a toy balloon that is fated soon to pop |
|
But if, baby, I'm the bottom |
|
You're the top |
