Inspired by an ethereal Hispanic beauty - and what a beauty - wearing a lime green dress while in attendance at one of or city's "hot spots". Wow.
Last night, I had the strangest dream.
I was out and about, makin' the scene.
All the other women were staring at me.
I could tell they were overcome by jealousy.
Even the beautiful women had me in their eyes.
I had to take pause and wonder. "Why?"
It was important, because you see,
This sort of thing doesn't happen to me.
Close by was a lady,who'd given me a glance,
So I gathered my nerve and took the chance.
I said, "Ma'am, everyone seems to be staring at me.
Can you tell me why? What can it be?"
"Look around," she said; "What DON'T you see?
I have to say, it's quite apparent to me.
In all the times that I've made this scene,
Never has a woman been bold enough to wear lime green.
But lime green looks right on you.
That's why they're jealous. Believe me, it's true.
If they could wear lime green, they would;
If they were sure they would look as good."
I awoke from my dream with a start;
but tried to remember it, each and every part.
And you can bet, if ever again I make the scene
I'll be 'showin' out'.....and wearin' lime green.
