Somewhere, over the rainbow, . . .
way up high.     
There's a land that I heard of     
Once in a lullaby. . ..     
Somewhere, over the rainbow, . . . 
skies are blue.. . .       
And the dreams that you dare to dream       
Really do come true.. . .
Someday I'll wish upon a star    
and wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.         
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,         
Away above the chimney tops         
That's where you'll find me.. . .
Somewhere, over the rainbow,      
bluebirds fly . . .     
Birds fly over the rainbow,         
Why then - oh, why
can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly. . .      
beyond the rainbow,      
. . .Why, oh, why
...can't I?
