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

<lengthy instrumental break>

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
