Lyrics for Over the Rainbow

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 those dreams That you dared to dream They really do come true Someday I'll wish upon a star And I'll wake Where the clouds are far behind me Oh yes Where troubles melt Like lemmon drops Way away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me Gonna be somewhere Over the rainbow Ho, ho-hoo, ho-ho Where pretty little bluebirds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why, then oh why? Can't I?
