You're the Top from Anything Goes is featured in Heart, the thirteenth episode of Season Three. It is sung by Hiram, LeRoy and Rachel (Episode version).
They sing it at a dinner party to celebrate Finn and Rachel's engagement. During the song, Finn and Carole seem to enjoy the performance, and Burt seems to look surprised. Finn, in particular, asks why Carole, Burt and himself never did this before dinner, to which Burt quickly waves away. Burt looks like he's been put in an awkward position during the performance.
In the episode version Rachel is also singing the song, although the performance is very much different than the studio version.

Lyrics
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,
Leroy and Hiram:
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!
Hiram:
You're a Bendel bonnet,
Leroy:
A Shakespeare's sonnet,
You're Mickey Mouse! (hahahahaha!)
Hiram:
You're the Nile,
Leroy:
You're the Tower of Pisa,
Hiram:
You're the smile
Leroy:
On the Mona Lisa
I'm a worthless check,
Hiram:
A total wreck,
Leroy and Hiram:
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 top!
Leroy:
You're Napoleon Brandy.
Leroy and Hiram:
You're the purple light
Of a summer night in Spain,
Leroy:
You're the National Gallery,
Hiram:
You're Garbo's salary,
Leroy and Hiram:
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!
Leroy and Hiram:
But if, baby, I'm the bottom,
But if, baby, I'm the bottom,
You're the top!
You're the top!
Leroy:
You're an arrow collar
Hiram:
Leroy, You're the top!
You're a Coolidge dollar,
Leroy and Hiram:
You're the nimble tread
Of the feet of Fred Astaire,
Leroy:
You're an O'Neill drama,
Hiram:
You're Whistler's mama!
Leroy:
You're camembert.
Hiram:
You're a rose,
You're Inferno's Dante,
Leroy:
You're the nose,
On the great Durante.
Hiram:
I'm just in the way,
As the French would say,
Leroy and Hiram:
"de trop"!
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:
You're a Waldorf salad.
Hiram:
You're just the top!
You're a Berlin ballad.
Leroy:
You're the boats that glide
On the sleepy Zuider Zee,
Hiram:
You're an old Dutch master,
Leroy:
You're Lady Astor,
Hiram:
Baby, you're broccoli!
Leroy:
You're romance,
You're the steppes of Russia,
Hiram:
You're the pants, (purr), on a Roxy usher,
Leroy and Hiram:
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!
