Sweet teas are made of leaves
Some of them brown and some are green
I travel the world for the perfect tea
Everybody wants a Darjeeling

Some of them got to be brewed, yeah
Some of them got to be brewed by you
Some of them got to infuse yeah
Some of them got to be infused

HOLD the kettle (move the pot)
KEEP the kettle (nice n hot)
HOLD the kettle (move the pot)
KEEP that kettle.

Nope :)

I guarantee, you've never heard of me, or us. We're working on a pantomime version of Macbeth just now, but that will definitely be on my list.

Can you share a name we can credit? You never know...

@LadyDragonfly I immagined someone really hyperactive singing that song. Is that how it is suppose to be? Jolly and upbeat to the rhythm of arrhythmia induced by over-caffeination? I love coffee and tea.

Q1:
Are you the original author of these lyrics?

(have to say to avoid misunderstanding:
yes, i’m aware of the different work it’s clearly inspired by ;-)

Q2:
Is this the first place this work has appeared?

Q3:
Do you want to apply any particular license?
- (c) all rights reserved?
- public domain?
- somewhere in between? (CC-BY-NC ?)
β€”β€”β€”
I ask because I *really* want to share this with my local music community,
& I want to make sure of proper-use+consent.

@silentashes

A1 - As far as I know I am the original author of this complete set of words in this exact order. I am not the first person to lampoon Eurythmic's "Sweet Dreams", nor am I the first person to do a tea parody of a portion of the lyrics. So I can't claim that it's 100% my original idea. I stand on the shoulders of giants.

A2 - Yes it is

A3 - Spread it around man. Maybe slap my name in there as credit if you feel generous. This belongs to the world.
