Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I've 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'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds
Are far behind me

Where troubles melt
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, why can't I?

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