you're the top

Diane Von Furstenberg Black Silk Anthea Pleated Top
Robert Rodriguez Light Taupe Crinkled Cotton Bow 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!
Music and Lyrics by Cole Porter 1934
