Don Mclean - Somewhere Over The Rainbow Brother Can You Spare A Dime Lyrics

[Somewhere Over the Rainbow]

[Verse 1]
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

[Verse 2]
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

[Brother Can You Spare a Dime]

[Verse 3]
They used to tell me I was building a dream
And so I followed the mob
When there was earth to plow or guns to bear
I was always there, right on the job

[Verse 4]
They used to tell me I was building a dream
With peace and glory ahead
Why should I be standing in line
Just waiting for bread?
[Verse 5]
Once I built a railroad, made it run
Made it race against time
Once I built a railroad, now it's done
Brother, can you spare a dime?

[Verse 6]
Once I built a tower to the sun
Made of brick and rivet and lime
Once I built a tower, now it's done
Brother, can you spare a dime?

[Bridge]
Once in khaki suits. gee, we looked swell
Full of that yankee-doodly-dum
Half a million boots went sloggin' through Hell
And I was the guy with the drum

[Verse 7]
Say, don't you remember? They called me Al
It was Al all the time
Say, don't you remember? I'm your pal
Brother, can you spare a dime?

[Somewhere Over the Rainbow (reprise)]
[Bridge]
Someday I'll wish upon a star
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

[Verse 8]
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why, then oh why can't I?

[Outro]
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why, can't I?
