Lyrics
- Don’t want any millions, I’m getting my share
I’ve only got 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
Chorus
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
