I've got the world on a string

Sitting 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

Any time I move my finger

Lucky me can't you see I'm in love

And life's a wonderful thing

As long as I hold the string

I'd be a silly so and so

If I should ever let her go

I've got the world on a string

Sitting on a rainbow

Got the string around my finger

What a world what a life I'm in love

And life's a such wonderful thing

As long as I hold the string

I'd be a silly so and so

Don't ever let her go

Now when you've got the world on a string

Sitting on a rainbow

Keep that string around my finger

What a world then say what a life

What a world what a life I'm in love
