I rewrote the words

You're the Top is the song that I wrote my own words for. The reason is that it was my Valentine present to the woman that would eventually become my wife. I used phrases that related to our specific history and had it sung to her by the piano player who entertained at one of our favorite restaurants. There were a lot of jealous women that night and I finally got a positive answer to my proposal. It certainly is a love song all you need is the right mix of people and words. Also from Minneapolis.

Ah . . . but it really is terribly romantic!

I disagree! Although it was originally intended to instill laughs - this song lives on to become a great expression of love, ADMIRATION, and sheer charm. The book itself is beautiful-the images accompanied by the song lyrics capture the song's spirit amazingly well. I gave this as a gift to my fiancé and he was delighted (we're even having the song as our 1st dance in our wedding because of it!). This book is a fantastic, unique gift ideal to give to your most loved. It is a thing of beauty.

not a review, response to above

THIS is NOT a romantic song. This song was sung in "Anything Goes," and it is sung by two characters who are not romantically involved, and will never be romantically involved. It is a fast beat with funny lyrics. When I was involved in a performance of this, I found this song (among two others) to be one of the funniest in the show. No romance here. Just a great song.
