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 wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles smelled like lemon drops
Way above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

*
Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?

(*repeat)

If happy little blue birds fly beyong the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I ?
