at words poetic i'm so pathetic

That i always have found it best

Instead of getting it off my chest

To let 'em rest unexpressed

I hate parading my serenading

As i'll probably miss a bar

But if this ditty is not so pretty

At least it'll tell you how great you are

You're the top - you're the coliseum.

You're the top -

Mmm¡­ 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 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 ghandi.

You're the top - you are 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 are sublime, you're a turkey dinner.

You're the time - 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, top.



Steve, there is something i got to tell ya..

What is it judy?

Well, umm¡­



You're the top (i am?) - mmm ¡­you're a waldorf salad

Oh no, no let me say it

You're the top (me too?) - you're a berlin ballad you're the nimble tread of

The feet of fred astaire

(actually i don't dance very well)

You're an o'neill drama, you're whistler's mother -

Mama (oh), you're camembert.

You're a rose, (mmm. sweet)

You're inferno's dante.

You're the nose - watch it!i mean

Whatwhatwhawha what- on the great durante.that's better

I'm the lazy lout who is just about to stop let's not stop

But if baby i'm the bottom,

She's the one for me

And i've got 'im

Coz if baby i'm the bottom,

You're the top.
