You’re the Top

Lyrics

[LEROY] At words poetic, I'm so pathetic That I always have found it best Instead of getting 'em 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 [HIRAM & LEROY] At least it'll tell you how great you are [HIRAM] You're the top! Leroy You're the Coliseum [LEROY] You're the top! Oh, baby You're the Louvre Museum You're a melody from a symphony by Strauss! [HIRAM] You're a Bendel bonnet [LEROY] A Shakespeare's sonnet You're Mickey Mouse! (hahahahaha!) [HIRAM] You're the Nile [LEROY] You're the Tower of Pisa [HIRAM] You're the smile [LEROY] On the Mona Lisa I'm a worthless check [HIRAM] A total wreck [HIRAM & LEROY] A flop! But if, baby, I'm the bottom you're the top! [HIRAM] You're the top, Leroy! [LEROY] You're Mahatma Gandhi, Hiram! [HIRAM] You're the top! [LEROY] You're Napoleon Brandy [HIRAM & LEROY] You're the purple light Of a summer night in Spain [LEROY] You're the National Gallery [HIRAM] You're Garbo's salary [HIRAM & LEROY] You're cellophane! [HIRAM] You're sublime [LEROY] You're a turkey dinner! [HIRAM] You're the time [LEROY] Of a Derby winner! I'm a toy balloon that's fated soon to pop! [HIRAM & LEROY] But if, baby, I'm the bottom But if, baby, I'm the bottom You're the top! You're the top! [LEROY] You're an arrow collar [HIRAM] Leroy, You're the top! You're a Coolidge dollar [HIRAM & LEROY] You're the nimble tread Of the feet of Fred Astaire [LEROY] You're an O'Neill drama [HIRAM] You're Whistler's mama! [LEROY] You're camembert [HIRAM] You're a rose You're Inferno's Dante [LEROY] You're the nose On the great Durante [HIRAM] I'm just in the way As the French would say [HIRAM & LEROY] "De trop"! But if, baby, I'm the bottom But if, baby, I'm the bottom But if, baby, I'm the bottom You're the top! [LEROY] You're a Waldorf salad [HIRAM] You're just the top! You're a Berlin ballad [LEROY] You're the boats that glide On the sleepy Zuider Zee [HIRAM] You're an old Dutch master [LEROY] You're Lady Astor [HIRAM] Baby, you're broccoli! [LEROY] You're romance You're the steppes of Russia [HIRAM] You're the pants, (Purr), on a Roxy usher [HIRAM & LEROY] I'm a broken doll, a fol-de-rol, a blop But if, baby, I'm the bottom But if, baby, I'm the bottom But if, baby, I'm the bottom You're the top
