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 sometimes

I never even make a gain

Believe me, I'm always chasing rainbows

Waiting to find a little bluebird in vain



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 sometimes

I never even make a gain

Believe me, I'm always chasing rainbows
