Merry month of May, sunny skies of blue
Clouds have rolled away and the sun peeps through
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 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?
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 sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
What a world, what a life, I'm in love

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?
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 sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
What a world, what a life, I'm in love
