I've Got the World on a String-Art Tatum

Merry month of may, sunny skies of blue, clouds have rolled away and the sun peeps thru, 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, sittin' 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, sittin' on a rainbow, Got the string around my finger, What a world, what a life, I'm in love. I've got the world on a string, sittin' 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, sittin' on a rainbow, Got the string around my finger, What a world, what a life, I'm in love. --- "I've Got the World on a String" as written by Harold Arlen Ted Koehler Lyrics © BUG MUSIC, EMI Music Publishing, Warner/Chappell Music, Inc.
