Sutton Foster - You're the Top lyrics

[RENO] *Spoken* You think some t-bag can compete with you? You think he's got one tiny fraction of your brains? Your looks? Your... *Sing* 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 But 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 Bendel bonnet A Shakespeare's 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! [BILLY] Your words poetic are not pathetic On the other hand, babe, 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 I got a notion I'll second the motion And this is what I'm going to add; 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 turkey dinner You're the time, the time of a Derby winner I'm a toy balloon that is fated soon to pop But if, baby, I'm the bottom You're the top! [RENO] 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 [BILLY] You're Whistler's mama [RENO] You're camembert [BILLY] You're a rose You're Inferno's Dante [RENO] You're the nose, on the great Durante I'm just in a way As the French would say, "de trop" But if, baby, I'm the bottom You're the top! [BILLY] You're the top! You're a dance in Bali You're the top! You're a hot tamale You're an angel, you Simply too, too, too diveen You're a Boticcelli You're Keats [RENO] You're Shelly [BILLY] You're Ovaltine [RENO] You're a boon You're the dam at Boulder! [BILLY] You're the moon Over Mae West's shoulder I'm the nominee of the G.O.P [RENO] Or GOP! [BILLY] But if, baby, I'm the bottom [RENO] But if, baby, I'm the bottom [BOTH] But if, baby, I'm the bottom You're the top! [BILLY] You're the top! You're my Swanee river! [RENO] You're the top! You're a goose's liver! [BILLY] You're the baby grande of a Lady And a Gent [RENO] You're a dress from Saxes You're next years taxes [BILLY] You're Pepsi-dent! [RENO] You're a prize You're a night at Coney! [BILLY] You're the eyes of Irene Bordoni [RENO] I'm a frightened frog That can find no log to hop! [BOTH] But if, baby, I'm the bottom You're the top! [RENO] You're the top You're a Waldorf salad [BILLY] You're the top! You're a Berlin ballad [RENO] You're the boats that glide On the sleepy Zuider Zee You're an old Dutch master [BILLY] You're Lady Astor [RENO] You're broccoli [BILLY] You're romance You're the steppes of Russia [RENO] You're the pants on a Roxy usher I'm a broken doll [BILLY] A fol-de-rol [BOTH] A blop! [RENO] But if, baby, I'm the bottom [BILLY] But if, baby, I'm the bottom [BOTH] But if, baby, I'm the bottom You're the top!
