You're the Top Lyrics

1975 American musical film
At Long Last Love - You're the Top Lyrics


The song is written by Cole Porter.

At words poetic,
I'm so pathetic;
That I always
have found it best

(spoken)
Hmm?

Instead of getting them
off my chest
To let 'em rest
unexpressed

(spoken)
You mustn't do that.

I hate parading
my serenading
And I'll probably miss a bar;

(spoken)
That was good.

But if this ditty
is not so pretty;
At least it'll tell you
How great you are
You're the top.
You're a Waldorf salad
You're the top
You're a Berlin ballad
You're a baby grand
of a lady and a gent
You're an old Dutch master
You're Mrs. Astor;
You're Pepsodent
I've never been so bad.
You're romance
You're the steppes of Russia
You're the pants

(spoken)
Pants?

On a Roxy usher;
I'm a lazy lout that is just
about to stop Oh, don't stop.
But if, baby, I'm the bottom,
you're the top

(spoken)
Oh, thank you.

Your words poetic
are not pathetic;

(spoken)
No?

On the other hand,
boy, you shine Oh.
And I can feel after
every line

(spoken)
Yeah?

A thrill divine
Down my spine
Now, gifted humans
like Vincent Youmans
Might think that your song is
bad Oh, what does he know?
But for a person
who's just rehearsin'
Well, I gotta say
this, my lad
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
That's nice.
You're an O'Neill drama
You're Whistler's mama
You're Camembert

(spoken)
Camembert.

You're a rose
You're Infemo's Dante
You're the nose

(spoken)
The nose?
The nose.

On the great Durante
Oh, yeah.
I'm just in the way;
As the French would say,
De "trop"
But if, baby, I'm the bottom,
you're the top
You're the top.

How can you sing?
I'm dizzy.
You're a dancing belly;
You're the top
You're a hot tamale
You're angel
You're simply too,
too, too diveen
You're a Botticelli
You're Keats
You're Shelley
You're Ovaltine
Aw.
You're a boon
You're the darn at Boulder
You're the moon
Really?
Over Mae West's shoulder
I'm a nominee
Of the G.O.P.
Or GOP;
But if, baby, I'm the bottom
You're the top

(spoken)
Mopsie!
You Okay?
I don't get enough exercise.
You know that?
No?
No.

You're the top
You're the Colosseum
You know the Colosseum?
Mm-hmm.
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 Gandhi
You're the top
You're... Napoleon brandy;
Oh, Napoleon.
Yeah, you're the purple light
of a summer night in Spain
Italy. Scusi.
Shh!
You're the National Gallery
You're Garbo's salary
You're...
Yeah?
Cellophane
Oh.
You're sublime
You're a turkey dinner;
You're the time of
that Derby winner No.
I'm a toy balloon
that is fated soon to pop
But if, baby,
I'm the bottom
You're the top

At Long Last Love Songs Lyrics

PLOT
Down In The Depths
Tomorrow
Which
Poor Young Millionaire
You're the Top
Find Me a Primitive Man
Friendship
But in the Morning, No
At Long Last Love
Well, Did You Evah?
From Alpha to Omega
Let's Misbehave / It's De-Lovely
Just One of Those Things
I Get a Kick Out of You
Most Gentlemen Don’t Like Love
I Loved Him, But He Didn’t Love Me
A Picture of Me Without You
