Hey Michael, come on and swing
Looks like you've got the world on a string

I've got the world on a string
I'm sitting on a rainbow
Got that string around my finger
Oh, what a world, oh, what a life, I'm in love

I've got a song that I sing
And I can make the rain go
Anytime I move my finger
Lucky me, can't you see, I'm in love?

Life's a wonderful thing
As long as I've got that string
I'd be a silly so and so
If I should ever let you go

I've got the world on a string
I'm sitting on a rainbow
I've got that string around my finger
Oh, what a world and what a life, I'm in love

Life is a wonderful thing
As long as I hold the string
I'd be a crazy so and so
If I should ever let her go

I've got the world on a string
I'm sitting on a rainbow
I got that string around my finger
Oh, what a world, oh, what a life
Oh, what a world, oh, what a life
Oh, what a world, oh, what a life, 'cause I'm in love

(He's in love, he's in love)
I'm in love
(Got the world on a string)
And what a wonderful thing
(Alright)
When you get the world on a string
