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 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!



Another version, is a joyous delightful duet with Kate Smith(?)

(from the CD Suddenly It's Spring)



[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 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],



[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 Crosby'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's fated soon to pop!

[But if baby, I'm the bottom] no, if baby, I'm the bottom,
