I've Got The World On A String Songtext
von Ella Fitzgerald

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
Sitting 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 the rain go
Any time 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
Sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
What a world, what a life, 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

Yes, I've got the world on a string
Sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
What a world, and what a life
What a world, what a life, said I′m in love
