"I've Got the World on a String" was one of the songs Vic Fontaine sang in his holosuite program during the dinner show attended by Nog, Jake Sisko, and Jake's date Kesha. Following the applause, Fontaine joked, "I guess that's the response you get when you pack the house with relatives." (DS9: "It's Only a Paper Moon")
Lyrics[]
I've got a song that I sing
I can make the rain go
Any time I move my finger
Lucky me, can't you see – I'm in love
Life is a beautiful thing
As long as I hold that 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's a beautiful thing
As long as I hold the string
I'd be a silly so-and-so
If I should ever let her 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
What a world, what a life
What a world, what a life – I'm in love
