I got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow, 
Got a string around my finger, what a world, what a life, 
I'm in love . . . 
  
I 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 a string, 
I'd be a silly so and so, if I should ever let you go . . . 
  
I got the world on a string, sittin' on the rainbow, 
Got a string around my finger, what a life, what a world, 
I'm in love . . . 
  
( instrumental repeat of verse )   
  
. . . what a world, what a life, 
I'm in love . . . 
  
( instrumental repeat of verse )   
  
. . . lucky me, can't you see? 
That I'm in love . . . 
  
Life is a beautiful thing, as long as I hold a string, 
I'd be a silly so and so, if I should ever let you go . . . 
  
Oh! I got the world on a string, sittin' on the rainbow, 
Got a string around my finger, what a world, what a life, 
I'm really in love . . .
