you're the top

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'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! 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 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, you're the top!

You're the top! You're a Waldorf salad
You're the top! You're a Berlin ballad
You're a baby grand of a lady and a gent.
You're an old Dutch master, you’re Mrs. Astor
You're Pepsodent!
You're romance, you're the steppes of Russia
You're the pants on a Roxy usher.
I'm a lazy lout that's just about to stop
But if, baby, I'm the bottom, you're the top!

- "You're The Top"
Music and Lyrics by Cole Porter 1934
