You’re the Top

Lyrics

[Intro: Barbra Streisand] Oh 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 [Verse 1: Barbra Streisand] 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 [Verse 2: Barbra Streisand] You're the top You're Mahatma Gandhi 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 [Bridge: Barbra Streisand & Ryan O'Neal] Steve, there is something I gotta tell ya What is it, Judy? Well, um [Verse 3: Barbra Streisand & Ryan O'Neal] 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?) That's right You're a Berlin ballad (Oh, that's nice) You're the nimble tread of the feet of Fred Astaire Actually, I don't dance very well You are an O'Neill drama You're Whistler's Mother (Mama) (Sorry) You're Camembert (Camembert? Well, let's see) You're a rose (Mmm, that is sweet) You're Inferno's Dante (That's a very intellectual reference) You're the nose (Watch it!) I mean, (Wha-what? Wha-wha-what?) Well, on, the great Durante (Oh, that's better) I'm a lazy lout who is just about to storm (Let's not storm) But if baby, I'm the bottom She's the one for me And I've got 'im 'Cause if baby, I'm the bottom You're the top
