Over the Rainbow Music by Harold Arlen with lyrics by Yip Harburg
This song was composed for the film “The Wizard of Oz” where it was sung by Judy Garland who played the role of Dorothy Gale. The film, which was released in 1939, is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to the WIZARD OF OZ! We will be singing a version of this song inspired by the Israel Kamakawiwoʻole version, which is now the most requested and dowloaded version of this song ever. There are so many versions of this beautiful song. At the Heathcote we will be creating our own version for the Circle of Friends Assembly on Sept. 27th where we will all sing this as a school.
To learn more, be sure to visit my Teacher Page on the Heathcote website., and look for the Circle of Friends Assembly link in the menu.
Intro
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh, ooh ooh-ooh. Ooh-ooh, oh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ooh ooh-ooh.
Chorus
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high,
And the dreams that you dream of once in a lul-laby--- (y-y-y).
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly.
And the dreams that you dream of
Dreams really do come true--- ooh-ooh-ooh.

Verse 1
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
Chorus
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to, oh why, oh why can't I--- (I - I - I)?
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.
Chorus
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow, way up high,
And the dreams that you dare to
Why, oh why can’t I--- (I-I-I)?
Outro Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh, Ooh ooh-ooh….
