I’m Sitting on Top of the World lyrics — recorded by Al Jolson, music by Ray Henderson, lyrics by Sam M. Lewis and Joe Young
I’m sitting on top of the world,
Just rolling along
Just rolling along
I’m quitting the blues of the world
Just singing a song
Just singing a song
Glory hallelujah, I just phoned the parson
Hey, par, get ready to call
Just like humpty dumpty,
I’m going to fall
I’m sitting on top of the world
Just rolling along
Just rolling along
Some people have diamonds
And beautiful pearls
While others have children
Just kiddies with curls
Keep all of your fortunes
Keep all of your fame
I just found a sweetie
Who’s changing her name
I’m sitting on top of the world
just rolling along
just rolling along
I’m quitting the blues of the world
Just singing a song
Just singing a song
Glory hallelujah, I just phoned the parson
Hey, par, get ready to call
Just like humpty dumpty,
I’m going to fall
I’m sitting on top of the world
just rolling along
just rolling along
Don’t want any millions
I’m getting my share
I’ve only got one suit (one suit)
That’s all I can wear
A bundle of money won’t make you feel gay
A sweet little honey is making me say
I’m sitting on top of the world
just rolling along
just rolling along
I’m quitting the blues of the world
Just singing a song
Just singing a song
Glory hallelujah, I just phoned the parson
Hey, par, get ready to call
Just like humpty dumpty,
I’m going to fall
I’m sitting on top of the world
just rolling along
just rolling along
