Lyrics I've Got The World On A String (06-29-50) - Teddy Wilson

I've Got The World On A String (06-29-50)

I got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow
Got a string around my finger, what a world, what a life
I’m in love.
.
I 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 a string
I’d be a silly so and so, if I should ever let you go.
.
I got the world on a string, sittin' on the rainbow
Got a string around my finger, what a life, what a world
I’m in love.
.
(instrumental repeat of verse)
.. .
what a world, what a life
I’m in love.
.
(instrumental repeat of verse)
.. .
lucky me, can’t you see?
That I’m in love.
.
Life is a beautiful thing, as long as I hold a string
I’d be a silly so and so, if I should ever let you go.
.
Oh!
I got the world on a string, sittin' on the rainbow
Got a string around my finger, what a world, what a life
I’m really in love.
