"I've Got The World On A String" lyrics

Louis Prima, Keely Smith & Sam Butera and the Witnesses Lyrics

"I've Got The World On A String"

I've got the world on a string
And I'm sitting on a rainbow
Got that string around my little finger
What a world, and, what a life, ooh, I'm in love

I got a song I sing
And I can make the rain go
Anytime I move my crazy little finger
Lucky me, lucky me, lucky me, lucky me, lucky me
Can't you see, I'm in love

Mmm, Sam, life is a wonderful thing
Boy, you gotta have a little zing
Now if I could only sing like bing
Haha, man, I could really swing (look out now)

Yes, I've got the world on a string
And I'm sitting on a rainbow
Got that string around my finger
Hey, what a world
Oh-oh-oh, what a life
What a life and what a world riddle
What a life and what a riddle world
[Skat]

I got the world on a string
I'm sitting on a rainbow
I got that string around my little finger
What a world, cos I'm in love (oh!)
What a song, the stars above (oh!)
What a world cos I'm in love
Love love love
I got the song that I sing
And I can make the rain go
Anytime anytime anytime [skat]
My little finger
Lucky me, lucky me, lucky me, lucky me, lucky me, lucky me
Lucky me, lucky me, lucky me, heh, lucky me

Mmm, and life is a wonderful thing
Oh, you gotta come up with that zing, Sam
Oh, if you could only find that thing
We could play ting-a-ling

Yes, I've got the world on a string
And I'm sitting on a rainbow
I got that string around my finger
Hey, what a world
Oh-oh-oh-oh, what a life
What a world
What a life
I'm in love!
