Ella Fitzgerald - You're The Top Lyrics
At words poetic Im so patheticThat I always have found it bestInstead of getting em off my chest,To let em rest - unexpressed.I hate parading my serenading,As Ill probably miss a bar,But if this ditty is not so pretty,At least itll tell you how great you are.Youre the top! youre the collosseum,Youre the top! youre the louvre museum,Youre the melody from a symphony by strauss,Youre a bendel bonnet,A shakespeare sonnet,Youre mickey mouse!Youre the nile! youre the towr of pisa,Youre the smile, on the mona lisa!Im a worthless check, a total wreck, a flop!But if baby Im the bottom,Youre the top!Youre the top, youre mahatma gandhi,Youre the top! youre napoleon brandy,Youre the purple light, of a summer night in spain,Youre the national gallery, youre garbos salary,Youre cellophane!Youre sublime, youre a turkey dinner,Youre the time, of the derby winner,Im a toy balloon thats fated soon to pop;But if baby Im by the bottom youre the top!Youre the top, youre a waldorf saladYoure the top, youre a berlin balladYoure the nimble tread of the feet of fred astaireYoure an oneal drama, youre whistlers mama, youre camembertYoure a rose, youre infernos danteYoure the nose, on the great duranteIm a masy leroux whos just about to stopBut if baby Im the bottom,Youre the top!
