You're the Top

[LEROY]

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

[HIRAM & LEROY]

At least it'll tell you how great you are

[HIRAM]

You're the top! Leroy

You're the Coliseum

[LEROY]

You're the top! Oh, baby

You're the Louvre Museum

You're a melody from a symphony by Strauss!

[HIRAM]

You're a Bendel bonnet

[LEROY]

A Shakespeare's sonnet

You're Mickey Mouse! (hahahahaha!)

[HIRAM]

You're the Nile

[LEROY]

You're the Tower of Pisa

[HIRAM]

You're the smile

[LEROY]

On the Mona Lisa

I'm a worthless check

[HIRAM]

A total wreck

[HIRAM & LEROY]

A flop!

But if, baby, I'm the bottom you're the top!

[HIRAM]

You're the top, Leroy!

[LEROY]

You're Mahatma Gandhi, Hiram!

[HIRAM]

You're the top!

[LEROY]

You're Napoleon Brandy

[HIRAM & LEROY]

You're the purple light

Of a summer night in Spain

[LEROY]

You're the National Gallery

[HIRAM]

You're Garbo's salary

[HIRAM & LEROY]

You're cellophane!

[HIRAM]

You're sublime

[LEROY]

You're a turkey dinner!

[HIRAM]

You're the time

[LEROY]

Of a Derby winner!

I'm a toy balloon that’s fated soon to pop!

[HIRAM & LEROY]

But if, baby, I'm the bottom

But if, baby, I'm the bottom

You're the top!

You're the top!

[LEROY]

You're an arrow collar

[HIRAM]

Leroy, You're the top!

You're a Coolidge dollar

[HIRAM & LEROY]

You're the nimble tread

Of the feet of Fred Astaire

[LEROY]

You're an O'Neill drama

[HIRAM]

You're Whistler's mama!

[LEROY]

You're camembert

[HIRAM]

You're a rose

You're Inferno's Dante

[LEROY]

You're the nose

On the great Durante

[HIRAM]

I'm just in the way

As the French would say

[HIRAM & LEROY]

"De trop"!

But if, baby, I'm the bottom

But if, baby, I'm the bottom

But if, baby, I'm the bottom

You're the top!

[LEROY]

You're a Waldorf salad

[HIRAM]

You're just the top!

You're a Berlin ballad

[LEROY]

You're the boats that glide

On the sleepy Zuider Zee

[HIRAM]

You're an old Dutch master

[LEROY]

You're Lady Astor

[HIRAM]

Baby, you're broccoli!

[LEROY]

You're romance

You're the steppes of Russia

[HIRAM]

You're the pants, (Purr), on a Roxy usher

[HIRAM & LEROY]

I'm a broken doll, a fol-de-rol, a blop

But if, baby, I'm the bottom

But if, baby, I'm the bottom

But if, baby, I'm the bottom

You're the top
