A Foggy Day Songtext
von Artie Shaw and His Orchestra

Merry month of May
Sunny skies of blue
Clouds have rolled away
And the sun peeps through
May express happiness
Joy you may define
In a thousand ways
But a case like mine
Needs a special phrase
To reveal how I feel
I′ve got the world on a string
Sittin' 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 a 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 the string
I′d be a silly so and so
If I should ever let go
I've got the world on a string
Sittin′ on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
What a world, what a life, I'm in love
What a world, what a life, I′m in love
Lucky me, can't you see that I′m in love?
Life is a beautiful thing
As long as I hold that string
I'd be a silly so and so
If I should ever let go
I've got the world on a string
Sittin′ on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
What a world, what a life, I′m in love
