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 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 oh why can't I



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
