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'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, bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow, why then oh, why can't I?

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, bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow, why then oh, why can't I?

Birds fly over the rainbow, why then oh, why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow, why, oh, why can't I?
Why can't I? Why can't I? Why can't I?
