[Verse 1]
Merry month of May, sunny skies of blue
Clouds of rollaway, and the sun peeps through
May express happiness, joy, you may define in a thousand ways
But in a case like mine, needs a special phrase to reveal
How I feel

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
I've got a song that I sing, I can make the rain go
Anytime I move my little 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

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