| 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 |
