Caesar salad (1934?)

[James A. Landau]

>From the musical "Anything Goes" by Cole Porter, dated 1934.

Reno and Billy sing the duet "You're the Top"


       Reno

You're the top
You're a silver dollar
You're the top
You're an Arrow collar
You're the nimble tread on the feet of Fred Astaire
You're an O'Neill drama
You're Whistler's Mama
You're Camembare

You're the pearl
that the divers fetch up
Milton Berle
and tomato ketchup
I'm a toy balloon
that's fated soon to pop
But if baby, I'm the bottom,
You're the top

      Billy

You're the top
You're a Caesar salad

     Reno

You're the top
You're a Berlin ballad
You're the boy I'd swipe
for the perfect type
of male

     Billy

You're an old Dutch Master
You're Lady Astor
You're Chippendale
You're a rose
You're Inferno's Dante

    Reno

You're the nose
of the great Durante
etc.
