Lyrics

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
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 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
[Chorus]
I got the world on a string sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
Lucky me, can't you see
Can't you see, can't you see I'm in love?
[Instrumental]
Life is a beautiful thing
As long as I've got hold of that string and
I'd be a silly so-and-so if I should ever ever ever let go
[Chorus]
I got the world, I got the world
I got the world, I got the world, can't you see?
I've got it wrapped around my finger
Lucky me, ooh, I'm in love
I've got the world on a string
I've got the world on a string
I've got the world on a string sitting on a rainbow
[Instrumental]
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
