I' Ve Got the World On a String - Erroll Garner

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
