Lyrics
I've got the world on a string
And I'm sitting on a rainbow
Got that string around my little finger
What a world, and, what a life, ohh, I'm in love
I got a song I sing,
And I can make the rain go,
Anytime I move my crazy little finger,
Lucky me Lucky me Lucky me Lucky me Lucky me
Can't you see, I'm in love.
Mm, Sam, life is a wonderful thing!
Boy, you gotta have a little Zing!
Now if I could only sing like Bing...
Haha, Man, I could really swing (look out now)
Yes, I've got the world on a string
And I'm sitting on a rainbow
Got that string around my finger
Hey, What a world,
Oh-Oh-oh what a life
What a life and what a world riddle,
What a life and what a riddle world
(skat)
I got the world on a string,
I'm sitting on a rainbow
I got that string around my little finger
What a world, cos I'm in love! (oh!)
What a song, the stars above (oh!)
What a world cos I'm in Love,
Love love love
I got the song that I sing
And I can make the rain go!
Anytime anytime anytime(skat)
My little finger
Lucky me, lucky me, Lucky me, Lucky me, lucky me, lucky me,
Lucky me, lucky me, lucky me, heh, lucky me.
Mmm, and life is a wonderful thing!
Oh you gotta come up with that zing, Sam!
Oh if you could only find that thing,
We could play ting-a-ling...
Yes, I've got the world on a string!
And I'm sitting on a rainbow,
I Got that string around my finger!
Hey, What a world,
Oh-Oh-oh oh what a life
What a world
What a life
I'm in love!
