That's right. Context is important.
Someone explained to me once that Dylan (and some of his imitators) purposely made up a lot of nonsensical lyrics as a mockery or just a break, from the moon-June-spoon romanticism of previous generation pop music. So it has a multi-level purpose. I dont know if thats true or not, but this is a tempest in a teapot. Its not a competition, just a matter of what appeals to you.
