Lyrics You're the Top (Alternate Take) - Ella Fitzgerald
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.
You're
the
top!
you're
the
Collosseum,
You're
the
top!
you're
the
Louvre
Museum,
You're
the
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
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!
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
Garbo's
salary,
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's
fated
soon
to
pop;
But
if
baby
I'm
by
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
nimble
tread
of
the
feet
of
Fred
Astaire
You're
an
O'Neal
drama,
you're
Whistler's
mama,
you're
camembert
You're
a
rose,
you're
inferno's
Dante
You're
the
nose,
on
the
great
Durante
I'm
a
lazy
lout
who's
just
about
to
stop
But
if
baby
I'm
the
bottom,
You're
the
top!
