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, 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 little 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
I've got the string around my finger
What a world, what a life, I'm in love
