(Weisman / Wise)

Information:

Elvis sang Riding the Rainbow in his 1962 movie Kid Galahad. He recorded the song, which was written by Fred Wise and Ben Weisman, on October 26, 1961, at Radio Recorders. The version that appears on record is a splice of take #1 (first version) and take #7 (second version).

Lyrics:

I'm riding the rainbow, hitting the highway to happiness
Oh yes, I'm looking to find someone whose meant to be mine
I'm living to love and loving to live
I've got a heart I'm longing to give
I'm riding the rainbow, I'll follow that star to where you are

I'm riding the rainbow, heading for heaven and happiness
I guess somebody somewhere, someday will teach me to care
But being alone don't bother me
I'm free to have fun, it's fun to be free
I'm riding the rainbow, I'll follow that star, I'm riding the rainbow to where you are
