Lyrics

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've 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, sittin' 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, sittin' on a rainbow

Got the string around my finger

What a world

What a life

What a world

What a life

What a world

What a life

I'm in love
