You're the Top ist ein Song aus der dreizehnten Episode der dritten Staffel, Gorilla mit Herz, und wird von Hiram, Leroy und Rachel, gesungen. Sie singen den Song beim gemeinsamen Abendessen mit den Hudson-Hummels, um Finns und Rachels Verlobung zu feiern. Carole genießt den Auftritt, wohingegen Burt überrascht aussieht. Finn wiederum will wissen, warum sie das nie vor dem Abendessen machen, was Burt aber schnell verwirft, der sich während des Songs sichtlich unwohl fühlt.
Das Original stammt aus dem Musical Anything Goes aus dem Jahr 1934.
Hiram:
You're the top!
You're an arrow collar
You're the top!
You're a Coolidge dollar,
You're the nimble tread
Of the feet of Fred Astaire,
You're an O'Neill drama,
Leroy:
You're Whistler's mama!
You're camembert.
You're a rose,
You're Inferno's Dante,
You're the nose,
On the great Durante.
Hiram:
I'm just in the way,
As the French would say,
"De trop"!
Hiram, Leroy und Rachel
But if, baby, I'm the bottom,
But if, baby, I'm the bottom,
But if, baby, I'm the bottom,
You're the top!

Leroy:
At words poetic, I'm so pathetic
That I always have found it best,
Instead of getting 'em 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,
Beide:
At least it'll tell you how great you are.
Hiram:
You're the top! Leroy,
You're the Coliseum.
Leroy:
You're the top! Oh, baby,
You're the Louvre Museum.
You're a melody from a symphony by Strauss!

You're Mickey Mouse! (Hahahahaha!)
Hiram:
You're the Nile,
Leroy:

Leroy:
On the Mona Lisa
I'm a worthless check,
Hiram:
A total wreck,
Beide:
A flop!
But if, baby, I'm the bottom you're the top!
Hiram:
You're the top, Leroy!
Leroy:
You're Mahatma Gandhi, Hiram!
Hiram:

You're the purple light
Of a summer night in Spain,

You're cellophane!
Hiram:
You're sublime,
Leroy:
You're a turkey dinner!
Hiram:
You're the time,
Leroy:
Of a Derby winner!
I'm a toy balloon that’s fated soon to pop!
Beide:
But if, baby, I'm the bottom,
But if, baby, I'm the bottom,
You're the top!
You're the top!

On the sleepy Zuider Zee,

You're romance,
You're the steppes of Russia,

I'm a broken doll, a fol-de-rol, a blop,
But if, baby, I'm the bottom,
But if, baby, I'm the bottom,
But if, baby, I'm the bottom,
You're the top!
