I've Got The World On A String

Michael Buble · Collection

[Hey Michael come on & swing.

Looks like you 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

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



I've got a song that I sing

And I can make the rain go

Any time I move my finger

Lucky me, cant 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 the rainbow

I've got that string around my finger

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



Life's 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

What a world, what a life

Oh, what a world, what life

What a world, what 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

[Uh huh]
