Encore? But I had a most funny feeling It wasn't me they were shouting for So when the tall dark lady smiled at me I said,? Oh baby, let us go for a ride? And we came upon two drinks or four And popped them oh so neatly inside Oh, and the rain wasn't made of water And the snow didn't have a place in the sun So we slipped behind a rainbow And laid there until we had done, yeah, so Let me pack you deep in my suitcase Oh, there's sure to be room for two Or you can drive me to the airplane But don't let me catch those rainbow blues Oh, and the rain wasn't made of water And the snow didn't have a place in the sun So we slipped behind a rainbow And laid there until we had done Oh, and the rain wasn't made of water And the snow didn't have a place in the sun So we slipped behind a rainbow And laid there until we had done, ohh
