I'm Sitting On Top Of The World
His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The lyrics to "I'm Sitting On Top Of The World" by His Orchestra convey a sense of joy and contentment. The singer expresses the feeling of being on top of the world and rolling along, with no cares or worries. They are leaving behind the blues of the world and instead, choosing to sing a song. The mention of calling the Parson and saying "Glory Hallelujah" implies a sense of celebration or perhaps a newfound spiritual connection.
The reference to Humpty Dumpty is interesting, as it suggests a vulnerability or the possibility of a fall. However, despite this, the singer remains positive and continues to sit on top of the world. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for resilience and optimism even in the face of potential challenges or setbacks.

It's amazing to think that Mr Kahn was only 18 years old when he recorded this.
He formed his orchestra at 16 years old in 1923

November 13, 1925. The day that my paternal grandmother turned 39. And the previous August, she and my grandfather had welcomed their 5th and final child into the world. It was a boy, but not just any boy. That boy would one day become my father.
