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

birds fly over the rainbow

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
