Merry month of May, sunny skies of blue
Clouds have rolled away and the sun peeps through
May express happiness

Joy 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's a beautiful thing as long as I hold the string
I'd be a silly so and so if I 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's a beautiful thing as long as I hold the string
I'd be a silly so and so If I 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
