When all the world is a hopeless jumble
And the raindrops tumble all around
Heaven opens a magic lane
When all the clouds darken up the skyway
There’s a rainbow highway to be found
Leading from your window pane
To a place dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Some day I’ll wish upon a star and wake up
Where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops away
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?
If happy little blue birds fly beyond the rainbow
Why oh my can’t I?
