Composer(s): Fryderyk Chopin; Harry Carroll; Joseph McCarthy
First performance: Harry Fox & the Dolly Sisters - 1918
Covered by multiple other artists



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 dreams are just like all my schemes
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
I'm watching for a little bluebird in vain
