[ti:You're the Top] |
| [00:09.89] |
At words poetic, I'm so pathetic |
| [00:12.82] |
That I always have found it best, |
| [00:15.28] |
Instead of getting 'em off my chest, |
| [00:17.93] |
To let 'em rest unexpressed, |
| [00:21.13] |
I hate parading my serenading |
| [00:23.42] |
As I'll probably miss a bar, |
| [00:26.48] |
But if this ditty is not so pretty |
| [00:28.93] |
At least it'll tell you how great you are. |

I'm a worthless check, a total wreck, a flop! |
| [01:03.96] |
But if, baby, I'm the bottom |
| [01:05.62] |
You're the top! |
| [01:08.31] |
Your words poetic are not pathetic. |
| [01:10.73] |
On the other hand, babe, you shine, |
| [01:13.22] |
And I can feel after every line |
| [01:15.88] |
A thrill divine |
| [01:17.74] |
Down my spine. |
| [01:20.38] |
Now gifted humans like Vincent Youmans |
| [01:22.85] |
Might think that your song is bad, |
| [01:25.37] |

You're the time of a Derby winner |
| [01:59.44] |
I'm a toy balloon that is fated soon to pop |
| [02:02.86] |

As the French would say, "de trop". |
| [02:39.29] |
But if, baby, I'm the bottom, |
| [02:41.33] |
You're the top! |
