Lyrics

I’ve Got the World On a String

I got the world on a string

I'm sittin' on a rainbow

Got that string around my finger

What a world, what a life, I'm in love

I got a song that I sing

And I can make the rain go

Anytime I move my finger

Lucky me, can't you see I'm in love?

Life's a beautiful thing

As long as I hold the string

I'd be a silly so-and-so

If I should ever let you go

I got the world on a string

I'm sittin' on a rainbow

Got that string around my finger

What a world, oh, what a life, I'm in love

Life's a beautiful thing

As long as I hold the string

I'd be a crazy so-and-so

If I should ever let you go, oh yeah

I got the world on a string

I'm sittin' on a rainbow

Got that string around my finger

What a world, what a life, I'm in love

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

What a world, what a life, I'm in love

Oh yeah, I'm in love

Ooh, I'm in love

Oh yeah, I'm in love
