Stacey Kent - You're The Top lyrics

rate me

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 Coliseum.

You're the top, you're the Louve 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 !

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 the National Gallery, you're Garbo's salary, you're camembert.

You're sublime, you're a turkey dinner

You're the time of the Derby winner

I'm a toy balloon that is fated soon to pop

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