you're the top - sammy davis jr. & carmen mcrae lyrics

[intro: carmen mcrae, sammy davis jr. ]
at words poetic, i’m so pathetic
that i always have found it best
instead of getting him 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

[verse 1: carmen mcrae, sammy davis jr., both]
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 shakespeare 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!
tell me more!

[verse 2: carmen mcrae, sammy davis jr., both]
you’re the top, sam
you’re mahatma gandhi
you’re the top
you’re napoleon brandy
you’re the purple light
of a summer night in spain
you’re the national gallery
you’re presley’s salary
you’re cellophane
you’re sublime
you’re like 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

[outro: carmen mcrae & sammy davis jr.]
but if, baby, i’m the bottom you’re the top
but if, baby, i’m the bottom you’re the top!
