The Lyrics
I asked myself this: what would happen if i used a different color in this legendary jazz standard?
The lime, the sea, a cup of tea
The lime, the sea, a cup of tea
I'll know we're all greens
Myrtle moss jade all greens
Some greens are dark
But some are light
Olive or chartreuse
They're all greens
Forest, kelly, all greens
Regeneration
Fertility and rebirth
Environmnetal
with chlorophyll
Phosynthesis
For jewelry it's emerald
It can also mean jealousy
You're sick and - you're green
Around the gills
Asparagus
Caladon pine fern spring
Shamrock for luck
Army camoflague
BREAK
All shades of green are there;
Green paradise
They're all greens!
INSTRUMENTAL
Talkin' 'bout the lime and the sea
Andi'm talkin' 'bout you and me
The lime, the sea
For you and me
And I know we're all greens
All shades,
All hues,
All greens
Lime, sea, cup of tea
See the sky, cup of tea
All Greens
All shades, all hues, all Greens
The lime, the sea, a cup of tea
I'll know we're all greens
Myrtle moss jade all greens
Some greens are dark
But some are light
Olive or chartreuse
They're all greens
Forest, kelly, all greens
Regeneration
Fertility and rebirth
Environmnetal
with chlorophyll
Phosynthesis
For jewelry it's emerald
It can also mean jealousy
You're sick and - you're green
Around the gills
Asparagus
Caladon pine fern spring
Shamrock for luck
Army camoflague
BREAK
All shades of green are there;
Green paradise
They're all greens!
INSTRUMENTAL
Talkin' 'bout the lime and the sea
Andi'm talkin' 'bout you and me
The lime, the sea
For you and me
And I know we're all greens
All shades,
All hues,
All greens
Lime, sea, cup of tea
See the sky, cup of tea
All Greens
All shades, all hues, all Greens

Comes off a little jaded.... (just kidding... great job with a novel idea--obviously you've been eating your spinach!)
Loved the idea Tim.We need more Miles Davis parodies around here. I tried to write one but it Kind Of Blew.
For some great lyrics set to a Miles tune, check out the Jon Hendricks version of Freddie Freeloader.
