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 ready to fall.
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

I'm Sitting on Top of the World
Artist: Bobby Darin
Album: Great Gentlemen of Song
Song Length: 1:37
George's Thoughts: While Bobby Darin's version is the fastest one available among the popular hit versions, it's too slow for regular dance use. However, the strict-tempo version from "Best of Quickstep Music" is timed at a competition-friendly 50bpm.
Song Lyrics:
Dance: Quickstep
Bars per Minute: 47
This song has slightly challenging tempo such as pauses in the music that might make it unsuitable for teaching situations or novice dancers.
Too slow for competition.
