Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I have 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
[Verse 2]
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?
[Verse 3]
Life is a beautiful thing
Long as I hold the string
I'd be a silly, silly so-and-so
If I should ever let go
[Verse 4]
I have 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
[Verse 5]
Life is a beautiful thing
Long as I hold the string
I'd be a silly, silly so-and-so
If I should ever, ever, ever let go
[Verse 6]
I have got the world on a string
Sittin' on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
What a world, hey, hey
Ooh, what a life
What a world, what a life
I'm so in love
[Verse 7]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
So in love, so in love, yeah
