I've Got The World On A String - Woody Herman and His Orchestra, The Woodchoppers

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
