A total wreck, a flop
On the Mona Lisa
I'm a worthless check
You're cellophane
You're the Nile
You're the purple light
You're Mickey Mouse
At least it'll tell you how great you are
You're the Louvre Museum
You're Napoleon Brandy
Instead of getting 'em off my chest
Oh, you're the time of a Derby winner
You're a turkey dinner
You're Crosby's salary
But if this ditty is not so pretty
You're Mahatma Gandhi
To let 'em rest unexpressed
Mama you're sublime
But if, baby, I'm the bottom
You're a Bendel bonnet
You're the top
You're the Colosseum
You're the National Gallery
But if, baby, I'm the bottom
You're the top
I hate parading, serenading
You're a melody from a symphony by Strauss
You're the tops
As I'll probably miss the bar
You're the top
I'm a toy balloon that is fated soon to pop
You're the Tower of Pisa
Mama, you're the smile
A Shakespeare's sonnet
Of a summer night in Spain
You're the top
