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