I've Got the World on a String Songtext
von Ernestine Anderson

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 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 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

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 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 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
