The Lyrics

My music hobby is performing old songs (mainly 30’s through 70’s). I write funny parodies for some of them. I change the song’s serious theme to something funny but retain original lyrics and rhyme as much as possible. This one got started by changing the song theme from "you are my sunshine" to "you are my moonshine".
The other night dear
As I lay sleeping
I dreampt about my moonshine still
But when I woke dear
My still was missing
So I hung my head and cried

It was my moonshine
My home-made moonshine
It made me happy
Both night and day
But now my throat’s dry
And I don’t love you
Because you gave my moonshine away

You told me once dear
You really loved me
And nothing else could come between
But you gave my still
To your half sister
And that’s what shattered all my dreams

But I have my moonshine
My home-made moonshine
It makes me happy
Both night and day
For now I’m married
To your half sister
And you can’t take my moonshine away

No you can’t take my moonshine away
