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

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
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

What a world  what a life  I'm in love

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
