Iz's Somewhere Over The Rainbow/Wonderful World has the great ukulele playing, that wonderful voice of Iz's and the mangled lyrics to both songs.
What is unfortunate is that many of the folks who try to learn the song from Iz's version, don't quite get the ukulele right and never get the beautiful quality of his voice, but somehow manage to copy perfectly, the only thing that Iz really goofed up, the lyrics.
Please, if you're gonna try to learn this song, Google Yip Harburg's original beautiful poetic lyrics which make some sense, rather than using Iz's nonsense lyrics, which we forgive because of his beautiful voice.
Iz sang:
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dream of
Once in a lullaby, oh
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dream of
Dreams really do come true-ooh-ooh. . .

Somewhere over the rainbow,

There's a land that I've heard of
Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow,
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream,
Really do come true. . .
