[00:07.05]At words poetic I'm so pathetic
[00:10.32]That I always have found it best
[00:13.50]Instead of getting 'em off my chest,
[00:16.92]To let 'em rest - unexpressed.
[00:20.91]I hate parading my serenading,
[00:24.36]As I'll probably miss a bar,
[00:27.75]But if this ditty is not so pretty,
[00:31.53]At least it'll tell you how great you are.
[00:40.02]You're the top! you're the Collosseum,
[00:44.10]You're the top! you're the Louvre Museum,
[00:50.46]You're the melody from a symphony by Strauss,
[00:55.83]You're a Bendel bonnet,
[00:57.81]A Shakespeare Sonnet,
[00:59.52]You're Mickey Mouse!
[01:04.38]You're the Nile! You're the Tow'r of Pisa,
[01:11.40]You're the smile, on the Mona Lisa!
[01:18.42]I'm a worthless check, a total wreck, a flop!
[01:23.70]But if baby I'm the bottom,
[01:26.79]You're the top!
[01:32.61]You're the top, you're Mahatma Gandhi,
[01:39.63]You're the top! you're Napoleon brandy,
[01:46.62]You're the purple light, of a summer night in Spain,
[01:52.11]You're the National Gallery, you're Garbo's salary,
[01:55.83]You're cellophane!
[02:01.14]You're sublime, you're a turkey dinner,
[02:08.16]You're the time, of the Derby Winner,
[02:15.24]I'm a toy balloon that's fated soon to pop;
[02:20.61]But if baby I'm by the bottom you're the top!
[02:29.79]You're the top, you're a Waldorf salad
[02:36.96]You're the top, you're a Berlin ballad
[02:44.10]You're the nimble tread of the feet of Fred Astaire
[02:49.41]You're an O'Neal drama, you're Whistler's mama, you're camembert
[02:59.10]You're a rose, you're inferno's Dante
[03:05.79]You're the nose, on the great Durante
[03:13.71]I'm a lazy lout who's just about to stop
[03:18.18]But if baby I'm the bottom,
[03:21.54]You're the top!
