One Step over the Rainbow

It all began ‘bout a quarter to ten

At a joint on the south side

An acoustic show for not much dough

But a chance to play out live

With setlist in hand, we jumped in the van

And a friend told us where to drive

When we got to the place

A smile came over my face

It kind of felt like I had died

And gone

One step over the rainbow, baby,

I was getting high!

Girls everywhere, most with short hair

And we, the only guys

Well we played the show, mistakes and all

Everyone had a good time

Feeling like a star, I saunter up to the bar

By a girl with ebony eyes

She said I love your band

But I don’t understand

Why you dudes would even try

Then she turned about and started makin’ out

With the girl seated to her right

Your one step over the rainbow, baby,

Right as rain inside

A well adjusted, American woman

Who let her freak-flag fly

Feel as though I should have known

Right before my eyes

You’re one step over the rainbow, baby

Now you’re outta sight!

Shine ‘em down, shine ‘em down, we’ll shine…

Over the rainbow… YEAH!

You’re one step over the rainbow, baby

KEEP ON GETTING HIGH!

A well adjusted Ama-ma-ma-ma-merican woman

Look into the mirror, darling

We are all alright

You’re one step

One step over the rainbow
