You're the top! you're the Coliseum,
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 Sonnet,
You're Mickey Mouse!
You're the Nile! You're the Tow'r of Pisa,
You're the smile ( on what? )
On the Mona
Lisa! ( of course! )
I'm a worthless check, a total wreck, a flop!
But if baby I'm the bottom,
You're the top!
< instrumental verse >
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 is fated soon to pop;
But if baby I'm the bottom . . .
But if baby I'm the bottom . . .
Yes, if
baby I'm the bottom . . .
You're the
top!
