Lyrics

[Intro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dream of
Once in a lullaby, aye
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dream of
Dreams really do come true, ooh
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dare to
Oh why, oh why, can't I? I, oh
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dare to
Why, oh why, can't I? I
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ah-ah, ooh-hee-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
