(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)
