Lyrics I’ve Got The World On A String - Ivie Anderson, Bunker Hill

I’ve Got The World On A String

Ah, you know not everybody told me that my girl can’t dance
She’s mine, all mine
You know not everybody told me that my girl can’t dance
She’s mine, all mine
Well, when she can’t dance, she’d a-show the old man
But what you say about her, well I don’t give a damn
Everybody told me that my girl can’t dance
She’s mine, all mine
You know not everybody told me how my girl can’t twist
She’s mine, all mine
You know not everybody told me how my girl can’t twist
She’s mine, all mine
Well, when she can’t twist, she’s got sugar on her lips
She always going twisting, I never gonna miss it
Everybody told me that my girl can’t dance
She’s mine, all mine
You know not everybody told me how my girl ain’t cute
She’s mine, all mine
You know not everybody told me how my girl ain’t cute
She’s mine, all mine
Well, when she ain’t cute, she’s goin' over to you
There’s no one to please, 'cause my cutie fruity
You know not everybody told me how my girl ain’t cute
She’s mine, all mine, hoo!
You know not everybody told me how my girl ain’t cute
She’s mine, all mine
You know not everybody told me how my girl ain’t cute
She’s mine, all mine
Well, when she ain’t cute, she’s goin' over to you
There’s no one to please, 'cause my cutie fruity
You know not everybody told me how my girl ain’t cute
She’s mine, all mine, hoo!
She’s mine, she’s mine!
I love her, I got her!
Ain’t 'bout her, my cutie fruity!
Sugar, …(fade out)
