I’ve Got the World on a String Songtext
von Louis Armstrong

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 rainbows
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 should ever let you 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
Mama, I′m in love

Oh, what a world, what a life
Baby, I'm in love
Is it?

Looka here, lucky me, can′t you see?
Mama, 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 should ever let you go, yes

What a world, what a, what a life
Baby, love
Oh, what a world, baby
Oh, I′m in love, yeah, man
