repeats many  times  while introducing band members
Somewhere over  the rain bow Way Up High----
Theres a land  that I've heard  of once  in a lullaby
Somewhere over  the rain bow Skies are blue----
and the 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 rain bow blue birds 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?
repeat
