I've Got The World On A String (06-29-50) - Teddy Wilson

I got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow

Got a string around my finger, what a world, what a life

I’m in love.

.

I 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 a string

I’d be a silly so and so, if I should ever let you go.

.

I got the world on a string, sittin' on the rainbow

Got a string around my finger, what a life, what a world

I’m in love.

.

(instrumental repeat of verse)

.. .

what a world, what a life

I’m in love.

.

(instrumental repeat of verse)

.. .

lucky me, can’t you see?

That I’m in love.

.

Life is a beautiful thing, as long as I hold a string

I’d be a silly so and so, if I should ever let you go.

.

Oh!

I got the world on a string, sittin' on the rainbow

Got a string around my finger, what a world, what a life

I’m really in love.
