If I should ever let you go
As long as I hold a string

Got a string around my finger
Life is a beautiful thing
Sittin' on the rainbow
What a world, what a life
If I should ever let you go
I'd be a silly so and so
Got a string around my finger
I got a song that I sing
Oh, I got the world on a string
Lucky me, can't you see?

I'm in love
I'm really in love
I'm in love
I'm in love
What a life, what a world

Life is a beautiful thing

As long as I hold a string
Sittin' on the rainbow
I can make the rain go
Got a string around my finger
I'm in love
What a world, what a life

Anytime I move my finger
I'd be a silly so and so
Lucky me, can't you see?
That I'm in love
What a world, what a life
I got the world on a string
