I’ve got the world on a string
Sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
What a world what a life
Ooh I am in love
I’ve got this song that I sing
I can make the rain go
Anytime I move my finger
Lucky me can’t you see
I am in love
Life is a beautiful thing
As long as I’ve got a hold of that string
I’d be a silly so-and-so
If I should ever let go
I got the world on a string
Sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
Lucky me can’t you see
I am in love
I’ve got the world on a string
I’m sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
What a world, what a life – i’m in love
I’ve got a song that i sing
I can make the rain go
Any time i move my finger
Lucky me, can’t you see – i’m in love
Life’s a wonderful thing
As long as i hold the string
I’d be a silly so-and-so
If i should ever let her go
I’ve got the world on a string
I’m sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
What a world, what a life – i’m in love
I’ve got a song that i sing
I can make the rain go
Any time i move my finger
Lucky me, can’t you see – i’m in love
Life’s a wonderful thing
As long as i hold the string
I’d be a silly so-and-so
If i should ever let her go
