[Verse]
Merry month of May, sunny skies of blue
Clouds have rolled away and the sun peeks through
May express happiness
Joy you'll maybe find in a thousand ways
But a case like mine needs a special phrase
To reveal how I feel

[Chorus]
I've got the world on a string
Sitting 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

[Bridge]
Life is a wonderful thing
As long as I hold the string
I'd be a silly so-and-so
If I should ever let go

[Chorus]
I've got the world on a string
Sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
What a world, what a life, I'm in love
[Bridge]
Life is a wonderful thing
As long as I hold the string
I'd be a silly so-and-so
If I should ever let go

[Bridge]
Life is a wonderful thing
As long as I hold the string
I'd be a silly so-and-so
If I should ever let her go

[Chorus]
I've got the world on a string
Sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
What a world, and what a life
What a world, what a life
Say, I'm in love
