I cannot find the lyrics for this old song on the web.
It starts, or maybe the chorus starts;
I'm sitting on top of the world, just singing a song.....

Sounds like "I'm sittin on top of the world"
The lyrics are...
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.`
[verse 2]:
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.
[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.`

I'm sitting on top of the world
I'm rolling along, yes rolling along
And I'm quitting the blues of the world...
If this is the song the full lyrics to "Sitting On Top Of the World" by Al Jolson (but many others have recorded it too) at:
http://www.lyricsvault.net/songs/21532.html
The song was first published in 1925 and Al recorded it the following year.
From:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27m_Sitting_on_Top_of_the_World
The Carpenter's had a song called "On Top Of The World" in 1973 (country singer Lynn Anderson covered it too).
I don't think this is the one you need however.
It's relevant lyrics were:
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

I'm sitting on top of the world ... is the name of the song
The song was first recorded by Al Jolson, but since by many other artists.
Bobby Darin recorded it so did Brenda Lee,
Jolson's recording was played during the opening montage of 1930's New York City in the 2005 remake of King Kong.
