you re the top

Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga

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 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'r? Mickey Mouse (Meow)
You'r? 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
(Take it)

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 Gallery, You're Garbo's salary
You're cellophane
You're sublime
You're a turkey dinner, ha
You're the time
Of a Derby winner
I'm a toy balloon that's fated soon to pop
I'm a total wreck I'm a flop
I'm an option that no one picked up
But if, baby, I'm the bottom
You're the top
