You’re The Top Lyrics – Barbra Streisand

You’re The Top Lyrics:

Barbra:
At words poetic I’m so pathetic
That I always have found it best
Instead of getting it 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 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.

You’re the top, you’re Mahatma Ghandi.
You’re the top, you are Napoleon 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 are sublime, you’re a turkey dinner.
You’re the time – 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, top.

Barbra:
Steve, there is something I got to tell ya..

Ryan:
What is it Judy?

Barbra:
Well, you’re the top

Ryan:
I am?

Barbra:
You’re a Wardolf salad

Ryan:
Oh no, no let me say it
You’re the top

Barbra:
Me too?

Ryan:
Actually
You’re a Berlin ballad

Barbra:
Oh, it’s nice
You’re the nimble tread of the feet of Fred Astaire

Ryan:
Actually I don’t dance very well

Barbra:
You’re an O’Neill drama

Ryan:
You’re Whistler’s Mother

Barbra:
Mama
You’re Camembert.

Ryan:
Camembert, well, let me see
You’re a rose

Barbra:
Mmm, sweet
You’re Inferno’s Dante.

Ryan:
That’s a very intellectual reference
You’re the nose

Barbra:
Watch it!

Ryan:
I mean

Barbra:
What what what what what

Ryan:
On the great Durante.

Barbra:
That’s better
I’m the lazy lout who is just about to storm

Ryan:
Let’s not storm

Barbra:
But if baby I’m the bottom

Ryan:
She’s the one for me

Barbra:
And I’ve got him
Coz if baby I’m the bottom

Ryan:
You’re the top.
