Lyrics for The Clouds Are Full of Wine (Not Whiskey or Rye)

The clouds are full of wine Not whiskey or rye 'n the sky is full of bluebrains, Bluejays, mermaids Bluebrains, bluejays, bluebirds, mermaids bluejays, bluebirds, rainbows 'n the night is full of rhinestones, Pinecones, telephones 'n the sky is full of rhinestones, pinecones, telephones Wolfhowls, milkcows Shadows to some hows 'n the clouds are full of wine Not whiskey or rye 'n the sky is full of bluebrains, Baboons, rhinos, fools 'n buffoons 'n my eyes are full of bloodbones, Snowcones, serenaders 'n sen-n-n-oritas 'n so on... Melodies that go on, go on, Go on, go on, go on, go on, Go off, go off, go off, go off
