At the end of the rainbow there's happiness,

And to find it often I've tried,

But my life is a race, just a wild goose chase,

And my dreams have all been denied.

Why have I always been a failure?

What can the reason be?

I wonder if the world's to blame,

I wonder if it could be me.

Chorus:

I'm always chasing rainbows,

Watching clouds drifting by,

My schemes are just like all my dreams,

Ending in the sky.

Some fellows look and find the sunshine,

I always look and find the rain.

Some fellows make a winning sometime,

But I never even make a gain, believe me,

I'm always chasing rainbows,

Waiting to find a little bluebird in vain.
