I've Got The World On A String

I've Got The World On A String
music by Harold Arlen (right)

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 in 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, 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, sittin' on a rainbow, got the string around my finger,

What a world, what a life, I'm in love!
