I've got the world on a string
sitting on a rainbow
got that 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
anytime i snap my finger
what a world, what a life, i'm in love
life's a beautiful thing
long as i hold that string
i'd be a silly so-and-so
if i'd ever let you go
But i've got this 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
<lengthy instrumental break>

life's a beautiful thing
long as i hold that string
i'd be a silly so-and-so
if i'd ever let you go
But, darling, i've got the world on a string
sitting on a rainbow
got that string around my finger
what a world, what a life, i'm in love
