(Harold Arien)

I've got the world on a string
I'm 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 soul and so
If I should ever let go

I've got the world on a string
I'm sittin' on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
What a world, what a life, I'm in love

Life is a beautiful thing
As long as I hold the string
I'd be a silly soul and so
If I should ever let go

I've got the world on a string
I'm sittin' on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
What a world, and this is the life
Hey now, I'm so in love
