[00:00.000] 作曲 : Cole Porter
[00:00.000]Billy, where's the old Crocker confidence?
[00:02.937]You think he's got one tiny fraction of your brains, your looks, your...your...
[00:10.335]At words poetic, I'm so pathetic
[00:12.953]That I always have found it best
[00:15.284]Instead of getting 'em off my chest
[00:17.632]To let 'em rest unexpressed
[00:20.591]I hate parading my serenading
[00:22.756]As I'll probably miss a bar
[00:25.439]But if this ditty is not so pretty
[00:27.807]Att least it'll tell you
[00:28.949]How great you are
[00:31.442]You're the top!
[00:33.005]You're the Colosseum
[00:35.969]You're the top!
[00:37.960]You're the Louvre Museum.
[00:40.191]You're a melody from a symphony by Strauss

[00:50.987]You're the Tower of Pisa,
[00:53.497]You're the smile on the Mona Lisa
[00:57.843]I'm a worthless check, a total wreck, a flop
[01:00.919]But if, baby, I'm the bottom you're the top!
[01:05.675]Your words poetic are not pathetic
[01:07.874]On the other hand, babe, you shine
[01:10.353]And I can feel after every line
[01:12.884]A thrill divine
[01:14.504]Down my spine
[01:15.765]Now gifted humans like Vincent Youmans
[01:17.800]Might think that your song is bad
[01:20.257]But I got a notion
[01:21.651]I'll second the motion
[01:22.886]And this is what I'm going to add;
[01:25.982]You're the top!
[01:28.330]You're Mahatma Gandhi.

[01:46.536]You're turkey dinner
[01:48.115]You're the time of the Derby winner
[01:52.493]I'm a toy balloon that is fated soon to pop
[01:56.009]But if, baby, I'm the bottom
[01:58.606]You're the top!
[02:02.051]You're the top!

[03:02.678]Simply too, too, too diveen
[03:04.928]You're a Boticcelli,
[03:05.942]You're Keats
[03:06.727]You're Shelly
[03:07.380]You're Ovaltine.
[03:10.208]You're a boon
[03:12.431]You're the dam at Boulder
[03:14.853]You're the moon
[03:16.685]Over Mae West's shoulder
[03:19.292]I'm the nominee of the G.O.P

[03:55.078]I'm a broken doll, a fol-de-rol, a blop
[03:58.383]But if, baby, I'm the bottom
[04:02.474]You're the top!
