I've Got the World on a String

by The Nat King Cole Trio

on The Complete Capitol Recordings Of The Nat King Cole Trio (1993)

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