You're The Top Lyrics - The Cole Porter Mix - Patricia Barber

At words poetic, I'm so pathetic 

That I always found it best 

Instead of getting 'em off my chest 

To let 'em rest unexpressed 

I hate parading, serenading 

As I'll probably miss the bar 

But if this ditty is not so pretty 

At least it'll tell you how great you are 

You're the tops 

You're the Colosseum 

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 

Mama, 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 Crosby's salary 

You're cellophane

Mama you're sublime 

You're a turkey dinner 

Oh, you're the time of a Derby winner 

I'm a toy balloon that is fated soon to pop 

But if, baby, I'm the bottom 

You're the top
