Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby, –by, oh
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true, ooh
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops, that's where
You'll find me, oh
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to, oh, why?
Oh, why can't I, I?
Oh, someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top, that's where
You'll find me, oh
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dream that you dare to, why?
Oh, why can't I, I?
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ah-ah-ah, eh-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
