(Hey Michael come on & swing. Looks like you got the world on a string.)
I've got the world on a string I'm sitting on a rainbow Got that string around my finger What a world, what a life - I'm in love
I've got a song that I sing And I can make the rain go Any time I move my finger Lucky me, cant you see - I'm in love
Life's a wonderful thing As long as I've got that string I'd be a silly so-and-so If I should ever let you go
I've got the world on a string I'm sitting on the rainbow I've got that string around my finger Oh, What a world, what a life - I'm in love
Life's a wonderful thing As long as I hold the string I'd be a crazy so-and-so If I should ever let her go
I've got the world on a string I'm sitting on a rainbow I got that string around my finger What a world, what a life Oh, what a world, what life What a world, what life, cause I'm in love (He's in love, he's in love) I'm in love (Got the world on a string) And what a wonderful thing (Alright) When you get the world on a string (Uh huh)
