Lyrics

I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow Got the string around my finger, lucky me Can't you see, I'm in love, in love I've got the world on a string 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, long as I hold that string I'd be a silly, so-and-so, if I should ever let go I've got the world on a string 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 that string I'd be a silly so-and-so, if I should ever let 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! What a world, what a life, I'm in love!
