I got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow, Got a string around my finger, what a world, what a life, I'm in love . . . I 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 a string, I'd be a silly so and so, if I should ever let you go . . . I got the world on a string, sittin' on the rainbow, Got a string around my finger, what a life, what a world, I'm in love . . . ( instrumental repeat of verse ) . . . what a world, what a life, I'm in love . . . ( instrumental repeat of verse ) . . . lucky me, can't you see? That I'm in love . . . Life is a beautiful thing, as long as I hold a string, I'd be a silly so and so, if I should ever let you go . . . Oh! I got the world on a string, sittin' on the rainbow, Got a string around my finger, what a world, what a life, I'm really in love . . .
