You're The Top (Cole Porter)
EttaPlace
I would like to have the lyrics to two Cole Porter
songs. One of them is (Thank You So Much Mrs.
Lowsborough-Goodbye) and the other is You're
The Top.
I have some of the words but not all of the ones to
You're The Top.
I've been looking around the web but
can't find the right place.
Thanks very much.
At words poetic
I'm so pathetic
I've always found it best
Instead of getting them off of my chest
To let em rest
Unexpressed
I hate parading
my serenading
as I'll probably miss the (something)
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 colosseum
You're the top
You're the Louvre museum
You're a melody
from a symphony by Strauss
You're a (something) bluebonnet
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 (something)
a total wreck
a flop!
But Baby if 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 (something something)
of a summer night in Spain
You're the National Gallery
You're (someone's) salary
You're cellophane!
You're sublime
You're a turkey dinner
You're the (something
something)
I'm a toy balloon
that's fated soon to pop
But if Baby I'm the bottom
You're the top!
You're the top
You're an Arrow collar
You're the top
You're a Coolidge scholar
You're the nimble tread
of the feet of Fred Astaire
You're an O'Neil drama
You're Whistler's Mama
You're camembert
You're repose
You're Inferno's Dante
You're the nose
On the great Durante
I'm just in the way
as the French would say
(something)
But if Baby I'm the bottom
You're the top
You're the top
You're a Waldorf Salad
You're the top
You're a Berlin ballad
You're the baby grand
of a lady and a gent
You're an old Dutch Master
You're Mrs. Astor
You're Pepsodent!
You're romance
You're the steps of Russia
You're the pants
on a (something) usher
I'm a lazy lout that's
just about to stop
But if Baby I'm the bottom
You're the top!

You're the National Gallery
You're (someone's) salary (Garbo's salary)
You're cellophane!
You're sublime
You're a turkey dinner
You're the (something) (time of the Derby winner)

As I'd probably miss a beat
Sang this one in the last musical I was in - great song.
Hope this helps
