I've Got the World on a String
I got the world on a
string, sittin' on a rainbow,
Got a string around my
finger, what a world, what a life,
I'm in love . . .
I got a song that
I sing, I can make the rain go,
Anytime I move my
finger, lucky me, can't you see?
I'm in love . . .
Life is a
beautiful thing, as long as I hold a string,
I'd be a silly so
and so, if I should ever let you go . . .
I got the world on a
string, sittin' on the rainbow,
Got a string around my
finger, what a life, what a world,
I'm in love . . .
( instrumental
repeat of verse )
. . . what a world, what a life,
I'm in love . . .
( instrumental
repeat of verse )
. . . lucky me, can't you
see?
That I'm in love .
. .
Life is a
beautiful thing, as long as I hold a string,
I'd be a silly so
and so, if I should ever let you go . . .
Oh! I got the world on a
string, sittin' on the rainbow,
Got a string around my
finger, what a world, what a life,
I'm really in love
. . .
