Yip Harburg wrote this to make money?
Well, I hope he got some for Somewhere Over The Rainbow . . .

As Dick Gaughan later wrote:

I raise up my glass and drink deep of its flame
To those who have gone who were links in the chain
And I give my soul's promise I give my heart's pledge
To outlaws and dreamers and life at the edge.
