- At the end of the rainbow there's happiness
- And to find it how often I've tried,
- But my life is a race, just a wild goose chase,
- And my dreams have all been denied.
- Why have I always been a failure?
- What can the reason be?
- I wonder if the world's to blame,
- I wonder if it could be me?
-
- I'm always chasing rainbows,
- Watching clouds drifting by,
- My schemes are just like all my dreams,
- Ending in the sky.
- Some fellows look and find the sunshine,
- I always look and find the rain,
- Some fellows make a winning sometime,
- I never even make a gain, Believe me,
- I'm always chasing rainbows,
- Waiting to find a little bluebird in vain.
