“Over the Rainbow” with Hillary

September 22, 2016 ypadmin

For Yip’s son Ernie Harburg, Hillary Clinton is the feisty girl named Dorothy. and the song “Over the Rainbow” is a mantra for social justice, immigration, anti-bigotry and for believing in the right of home to be anywhere you land. The rest, including Trump, is all humbug. Read all about it in Nancy Cohen’s “The Song – ’Over The Rainbow’ with Hillary – One Son’s Dream” in the Huffington Post.

So many sweet things still on my list,
So many sweet lips still to be kissed,
So many sweet dreams still to unfold,
So many sweet lies still to be told.
 
When I see your face and its wonders
What is there to say?
This is no time for the reaper to call, no,
I don’t think I’ll end it all today.
 
Away with the river,
‘Way with de razor,
Away with the pearly gate,
‘Way with barbiturate,
Away with the Seconal,
The fall from the building tall, no,
I don’t think I’ll end it all today.

Lyric excerpt: “I Don’t Think I’ll End It All Today”
words by Yip Harburg, music by Harold Arlen
from Jamaica, 1957
