<pre><font size='+2'>YOU RE THE TOP lyrics ETHEL MERMAN</font><br>You`re The Top<br />
 Ethel Merman<br />
 Words and music by Cole Porter.<br />
 <br />
 Introduced by Ethel Merman and William Gaxton in the musical `Anything<br />
 Goes.`<br />
 Sung by Miss Merman and Bing Crosby in the first film version in 1936 and<br />
 by Crosby, Mitzi Gaynor, Donald O`Connor and Jeanmarie in the second film<br />
 version in 1956.<br />
 Sung by Ginny Simms and Cary Grant in the 1946 film `Night and Day.`<br />
 <br />
 (Verse 1)<br />
 At words poetic, I`m so pathetic<br />
 That I always have found it best,<br />
 Instead of getting `em off my chest,<br />
 To let `em rest unexpressed.<br />
 I hate parading my serenading<br />
 As I`ll probably miss a bar,<br />
 But if this ditty is not so pretty,<br />
 At least it`ll tell you how great you are.<br />
 <br />
 (chorus 1)<br />
 You`re the top! You`re the Colosseum,<br />
 You`re the top! You`re the Louvre Museum,<br />
 You`re a melody from a symphony by Strauss,<br />
 You`re a Bendel bonnet, a Shakespeart sonnet,<br />
 You`re Mickey Mouse.<br />
 You`re the Nile, You`re the Tow`r of Pisa,<br />
 You`re the smile on the Mona Lisa.<br />
 I`m a worthless check, a total wreck, a flop,<br />
 But if, Baby, I`m the bottom,<br />
 You`re the top[!<br />
 <br />
 (verse 2)<br />
 Your words poetic are not pathetic<br />
 On the other hand, boy, you shine<br />
 And I can feel after every line<br />
 A thrill divine down my spine.<br />
 Now gifted humans like Vincent Youmans<br />
 Might think that your song is bad,<br />
 But for a person who`s just rehearsin`<br />
 Well I gotta say this my lad:<br />
 <br />
 (chorus 2)<br />
 You`re the top! You`re Mahatma Ghandi.<br />
 You`re the top! You`re Napolean brandy.<br />
 You`re the purple light of a summer night in Spain,<br />
 You`re the National Gall`ry, You`re Garbo`s sal`ry,<br />
 You`re cellophane.<br />
 You`re sublime, You`re a turkey dinner.<br />
 You`re the time of the Derby winner.<br />
 I`m a toy balloon that is fated soon to pop.<br />
 But if, Baby, I`m the bottom,<br />
 You`re the top!<br />
 <br />
 (chorus 3)<br />
 You`re the top! You`re a Ritz hot toddy.<br />
 You`re the top! You`re a Brewster body.<br />
 You`re the boats that glide on the sleepy Zuider Zee,<br />
 You`re a Nathan Panning, You`re Bishop Manning,<br />
 You`re broccoli.<br />
 You`re a prize, You`re a night at Coney,<br />
 You`re the eyes of Irene Bordoni,<br />
 I`m a broken doll, a fol-de-rol, a blop,<br />
 But if, Baby, I`m the bottom,<br />
 You`re the top.<br />
 <br />
 (chorus 4)<br />
 You`re the top! You`re an Arrow collar.<br />
 You`re the top! You`re a Coolidge dollar.<br />
 You`re the nimble tread of the feet of Fred Astaire,<br />
 You`re an O`Neill drama, You`re Whistler`s mama,<br />
 You`re Camembert.<br />
 You`re a rose, You`re Inferno`s Dante,<br />
 You`re the nost of the great Durante.<br />
 I`m just in the way, as the French would say<br />
 `De trop,`<br />
 But if, Baby, I`m the bottom,<br />
 You`re the top.<br />
 <br />
 (chorus 5)<br />
 You`re the top! You`re a Waldorf salad.<br />
 You`re the top! You`re a Berlin ballad.<br />
 You`re a baby grand of a lady and a gent.<br />
 You`re an old dutch master, You`re Mrs. Aster,<br />
 You`re Pepsodent.<br />
 You`re romance, You`re the steppes of Russia,<br />
 You`re the pants on a Roxy usher.<br />
 I`m a lazy lout that`s just about to stop,<br />
 But if Baby, I`m the bottom,<br />
 You`re the top!<br />
 <br />
 (chorus 6)<br />
 You`re the top! You`re a dance in Bali.<br />
 You`re the top! You`re a hot tamale.<br />
 You`re an angel, you simply too, too, too diveen,<br />
 You`re a Botticelli, You`re Keats, You`re Shelley,<br />
 You`re Ovaltine.<br />
 You`re a boon, You`re the dam at Boulder,<br />
 You`re the moon over Mae West`s shoulder.<br />
 I`m a nominee of the G.O.P. or GOP,<br />
 But if, Baby, I`m the bottom,<br />
 You`re the top!<br />
 <br />
 (chorus 7)<br />
 You`re the top! You`re the Tower of Babel.<br />
 You`re the top! You`re the Whitney Stable.<br />
 By thje River Rhine, You`re a sturdy stein of beer,<br />
 You`re a dress from Saks`s, You`re next year`s taxes,`<br />
 You`re stratosphere.<br />
 You`re my thoist, You`re a Drumstick Lipstick,<br />
 You`re da foist in da Irish svipstick,<br />
 I`m a frightened frog that can find no log to hop,<br />
 But if, Baby, I`m the bottom,<br />
 You`re the top!<br />

You`re The Top
Ethel Merman
Words and music by Cole Porter.

Introduced by Ethel Merman and William Gaxton in the musical `Anything
Goes.`
Sung by Miss Merman and Bing Crosby in the first film version in 1936 and
by Crosby, Mitzi Gaynor, Donald O`Connor and Jeanmarie in the second film
version in 1956.
Sung by Ginny Simms and Cary Grant in the 1946 film `Night and Day.`

(Verse 1)
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,
At least it`ll tell you how great you are.

(chorus 1)
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 Bendel bonnet, a Shakespeart sonnet,
You`re Mickey Mouse.
You`re the Nile, You`re the Tow`r 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[!

(verse 2)
Your words poetic are not pathetic
On the other hand, boy, you shine
And I can feel after every line
A thrill divine down my spine.
Now gifted humans like Vincent Youmans
Might think that your song is bad,
But for a person who`s just rehearsin`
Well I gotta say this my lad:

(chorus 2)
You`re the top! You`re Mahatma Ghandi.
You`re the top! You`re Napolean brandy.
You`re the purple light of a summer night in Spain,
You`re the National Gall`ry, You`re Garbo`s sal`ry,
You`re cellophane.
You`re sublime, You`re a turkey dinner.
You`re the time of the Derby winner.
I`m a toy balloon that is fated soon to pop.
But if, Baby, I`m the bottom,
You`re the top!

(chorus 3)
You`re the top! You`re a Ritz hot toddy.
You`re the top! You`re a Brewster body.
You`re the boats that glide on the sleepy Zuider Zee,
You`re a Nathan Panning, You`re Bishop Manning,
You`re broccoli.
You`re a prize, You`re a night at Coney,
You`re the eyes of Irene Bordoni,
I`m a broken doll, a fol-de-rol, a blop,
But if, Baby, I`m the bottom,
You`re the top.

(chorus 4)
You`re the top! You`re an Arrow collar.
You`re the top! You`re a Coolidge dollar.
You`re the nimble tread of the feet of Fred Astaire,
You`re an O`Neill drama, You`re Whistler`s mama,
You`re Camembert.
You`re a rose, You`re Inferno`s Dante,
You`re the nost of the great Durante.
I`m just in the way, as the French would say

But if, Baby, I`m the bottom,
You`re the top.
