Finally got around to rerecording this in its entirety, enjoy!
I plan on rerecording this soon with better sound quality and a better take...
Tea for Two was written by Vincent Youmans and Irving Caesar in 1925. This Art Tatum rendition can be found on the album Piano Starts Here. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhwX54LfXFo
I wore a disguise so youtube won't recognize me.

you always know when you get close
to the viper’s den cuz you can hear them scheming
don’t even jest or the hornet’s nest
will descend upon you with a Shock and Awe
they fudge the scores they fund the wars
it’s how they knew in Waterloo who was the loser
it’s Protocol to hoax it all
like each pathogenic menace they design
don’t believe these lying eyes
there’s no conspiracy comprised of lies and history’s alibis
this timeline isn’t right
oy vey shut it down the goyim know too much
we rule the land with mighty hands that have the Midas touch
call me meshuggeneh for noticing a trend
there’s certain things you cannot say so sing them all instead
go try and tweet that being Caucasian is sweet
prepare to be flayed alive completely
and if you try to claim that space is fake and gay
they’ll greet you with obscene REEEing sounds
careful don’t say that boys wearing skirts playing
sports against your daughters is retarded
it’s only a fad when every single ad
depicts diversity in every home
remember we used to try to assemble and Occupy
but they dangled us the trope of social justice
woke sells quite well it’s also a spell
cuz NPCs can’t see beyond the veil
don’t believe these lying eyes
there’s no conspiracy comprised of lies and history’s alibis
this timeline isn’t right
oy vey shut it down the goyim know too much
we rule the land with mighty hands that have the Midas touch
call me meshuggeneh for noticing a trend
there’s certain things you cannot say so sing them all instead
oy vey shut it down you’re shoahed now good luck
we are the techno Pharisees you’re just a bunch of schmucks
it’s hard not to kvetch when sizing up our lot
the deck’s been stacked so just relax here have a mazel tov
“it’s transitory”...funny story
inflation just sustains the vicious viper
old Jekyll knew where they hide all their jewels
but they can’t hide pride when it’s a little on the nose
who owns all this porn it’s kind of a warning
when the products free there’s something else they’re taking
these clowns in Hollywood drink their holly jolly juice
and the music industry’s a masquerade
these parasites disturb your mind
and turn you into something less than human
the Hive Mind Queen infects your dreams
til ignorance is bliss enjoy your bris
don’t believe these lying eyes
there’s no conspiracy comprised of lies and history’s alibis
this timeline isn’t right
oy vey shut it down the goyim know too much
we rule the land with mighty hands that have the Midas touch
call me meshuggeneh for noticing a trend
there’s certain things you cannot say so sing them all instead
oy vey shut it down you’re shoahed now good luck
we are the techno Pharisees you’re just a bunch of schmucks
it’s hard not to kvetch when sizing up our lot
the deck’s been stacked so just relax here have a mazel tov
oy vey shut it down the goyim know too much
we rule the land with mighty hands that have the Midas touch
call me meshuggeneh for noticing a trend
there’s certain things you cannot say so sing them all instead

gather round while I sing you of Wernher von Braun
a man whose allegiance is ruled by expedience
call him a nazi he won’t even frown
nazi-schmazi says Wernher von Braun
don’t say that he’s hypocritical
say rather that he’s apolitical
once the rockets go up who cares where they come down?
that’s not my department says Wernher von Braun
some have harsh words for this man of renown
but some think our attitude should be one of gratitude
like the widows and cripples in old London town
who owe their large pensions to Wernher von Braun
you too may be a big hero
once you’ve learned to count backwards to zero
in German or the English I know how to count down
and I’m learning Chinese says Wernher von Braun
when he first launched Explorer into the great beyond
he tried to alleviate when it started to deviate
we had to catch up to those commies somehow
it’s a good thing we had lots of Wernher von Brauns
while Paperclip was a depravity
what’s worse is they lied about gravity
but von Braun didn’t frown and said this rings a bell
now go fetch me more Germans and do it mach schnell
at the end of his days with more time to reflect
he chose to disclose some notions verboten
they plan to deceive us with make-believe threats
and the Cold War was nothing compared to what’s next
after the Russians it’s terrorists
and then third-world countries will be scariest
and soon asteroids become the new enemy
and the best part will be the fake war with ET
when the good old OSS took from old Berlin town
they fed us with platitudes as they pillaged each latitude
and Gehlen told Allen I’ve got this one down
we’ll tell them the commies just won’t come around
so they pretend we’re always at war
that we’ll be nuked like Sodom and Gomorrah
they did it back then and they’ll do it today
why do you think that they killed JFK?
if you’re found by the CIA don’t be alarmed
just plan your allegiance as they force you into obedience
they’ll boil you a bit and pretend that you’ll drown
and they’ll still get away with it ‘cause you are brown
and some might suggest it’s quite comical
to claim that it’s all just economical
once they get what they want who care what you say?
just as long as you say it to the old CIA
they tried to kill Castro a few hundred times
their coups were quite sinister just ask the Iranian prime minister
and poor Guatemala how dare you decide to elect your government
oh look your president he died
dare I say it’s rather rude
to stand up for United Fruit
they’ll just call you commies and who care if you’re not?
oh and in Cambodia they helped some dude named Pol Pot
in Syria they staged a quick coup d’état
they tried to disarm Indonesia’s Sukarno
and Congo’s Lumumba they shot in the face
and they forced out Allende for old Pinochet
they even helped the Dalai Lama
and they ousted Nkrumah in Ghana
and Goulart went FUBAR and probably was killed
so they didn’t share the files from that coup in Brazil
they watched Papa Doc and his sweet little babe
as they plundered their nation another CIA creation
and they couped Vietnam and then still wanted more
so they faked the Gulf of Tonkin to get a new war
the history books are still murky
about what happened in Poland and Turkey
and Oliver North surely he told the truth?
but I guess we won’t know ‘cause he shredded the proof
they armed the mujahedeen to the teeth
yet they still tried to hide they created al-Qaeda
and ISIS is simply just more of the same
if you still keep buying it you’re just insane
does the fact that it’s all still quite classified
make you the slightest dissatisfied?
like poor Chavez so they gave him a cancerous blight
and Jack Ruby was screwed even though he was right
that they’re infecting us with apathetic delight
while the Mockingbird sings sweetly so long goodnight.

So...I hadn't planned on making videos of these two Billy Taylor numbers until very recently, when I'd began toying around more and more with these two wonderful tunes...and yesterday I decided to give it a go, and voila...I felt that the electric piano was best suited to A Bientot, whereas For Undine seemed nicer with a slightly reverby piano. Although much of this is improvised, starting at 2:45 for example, there are instances when I'm taking note-for-note passages from Billy Taylor's own performances, for which I have sheet music. Though, these moments are interspersed with me improvising on the theme.
For those of you who haven't heard of him, Billy Taylor is a phenomenal musician and I definitely appreciate all the things he's taught me...
