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 . . .
