Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I got the world on a string

I'm sittin' on a rainbow

Got the string around my finger

What a world, what a life, I'm in love

[Verse 2]

I got a song that I sing

And I can make the rain go

Any time I move my finger

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

[Verse 3]

Life's a beautiful thing

As long as I hold the string

I'd be a silly so-and-so

If I should ever let you go

[Verse 4]

I got the world on a string

I'm sittin' on a rainbow

Got that string around my finger

What a world, oh, what a life, I'm in love

[Verse 5]

Life's a beautiful thing

As long as I hold the string

I'd be a crazy so-and-so

If I should ever let you go

Ah, yeah

[Verse 6]

I got the world on a string

I'm sittin' on a rainbow

Got that string around my finger

What a world, what a life, I'm in love

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

What a world, what a life, I'm in love

[Verse 7]

Oh, yeah, I'm in love

Ooh, I'm in love

Oh, yeah, I'm in love
