Composers * Cole Porter Genre * Jazz Producer * David Wall Hit Trax * www.MIDI.COM.AU =============================== 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 Colliseum 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
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 aah pop But if baby I'm the bottom, you're the top, top
You're the top You're a Waldorf salad You're the top You're a Berlin ballad You're the nimble tread of the feet of Fred Astaire You are an O'Neill drama, you're Whistler's Mother You're Camembert You're a rose, You're Inferno's Dante You're the nose on the great Durante. I'm the lazy lout who is just about to storm 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
