I’ve Got the World on a String

[Verse 1]
Merry month of May, sunny skies of blue
Clouds have rolled away and the sun peeps thru
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
Oh, what a world, what a life, I'm in love
Lucky me, can't you see? I'm in love

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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
