Lyrics

Merry month of May, sunny skies of blue

Clouds have rolled away and the sun peeps through

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, sitting 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, sitting on a rainbow

Got the string around my finger

What a world, what a life

I'm in love

Life is a beautiful thing

As long as I hold that string

I'd be a silly so and so

If I should ever let go

I've got the world on a string, sitting on a rainbow

Got the string around my finger

What a world, what a life

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