Track Title: I've Got The World On A String Album Title: Harold Arlen - American Songbook Series Prime Artist: Tony Bennett Lyrics by: Ted Koehler (Theodore K.) Written by: Harold Arlen (b. Hyman Arluck) From the Show: Cotton Club Parade 1933 (S) Lyrics: 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 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 it 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 is a beautiful thing as long as I hold the string I'd be a silly so-and-so if I should ever let it go. I've got the world on a string, sitting on a rainbow. Got the string around my finger. What a world! Man, this is the life. Hey, now! I'm so in love. Transcribed by: Samantha Stevens sammi_s_1998@yahoo.com |
