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 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
