You're (Literally) the Top (inspired by Cole Porter, of course)
You're the top; you're the peak of Dante; You're the top— blue-chip picante. You're the jewel in the crown of a dinner gown by Klein. You're Dorsey's trombone, you're Kheops' capstone, you're altar wine. You're the top— as in "hat," on Fred's head. You're the quip dear old Oscar Wilde said. I'm an inarticulate voiceless glottal stop. But if, baby, I'm the bottom you're the top!
You're the top; you're the head of Acme (placed there by imperial decree). You're the high point of a fairy tale by Grimm. You're lemon zest, you're Arthur's crest, you're the Battle Hymn. You're the top— you're the Everest summit. You ascend where others plummet. Compared to me John Falstaff is a fop. But if, baby, I'm the bottom you're the top!
