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



One day I'll wish upon a star

And wake up where the clouds are far behind me

Where your troubles melt like lemon drops

Way above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me



Oh, somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds, they fly

If birds can fly over, over the rainbow, why, then why can't I?



One day I'll wish upon a star

And wake up where the clouds are far behind me

Where your troubles melt like lemon drops

Way above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me



Oh, somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds, they fly

If birds can fly over the rainbow, why, then why can't I?



If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow

Why, oh, why can't I?
