I've got the world on a string,
sittin' on a rainbow.
Got the 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 the string.
I'd be a silly so-and-so if I
should ever let it go.
I've got the world on a string,
sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger.
What a world, what a life - I'm
in love.
Life is a beautiful thing as
long as I hold the string
I'd be a silly so-and-so if I
should ever let it go.
I've got the world on a string,
sitting on a rainbow.
Got the string around my finger.
What a world! Man, this is the life.
Hey, now! I'm so in love.
