Song by Eric Burdon & WAR<br /><br>

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl<br>

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl<br>

<br>

I was once out strolling one very hot summer's day<br>

When I thought I'd lay myself down to rest<br>

in a big field of tall grass<br>

I lay there in the sun and felt it caressing my face<br>

<br>

And I fell asleep and dreamed<br>

I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie<br>

And that I was the star of the movie<br>

This really blew my mind, the fact that me,<br>

an overfed, long-haired leaping gnome<br>

should be the star of a Hollywood movie<br>

<br>

But there I was, I was taken to a place, the hall of the mountain kings<br>

I stood high upon a mountain top, naked to the world<br>

In front of every kind of girl, there was<br>

black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones...<br>

<br>

Out of the middle came a lady<br>

She whispered in my ear something crazy<br>

She said:<br>

<br>

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl<br>

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl<br>

<br>

[spoken:]<br>

<br>

I thought to myself what could that mean<br>

Am I going crazy or is this just a dream<br>

Now, wait a minute<br>

I know I'm lying in a field of grass somewhere<br>

so it's all in my head<br>

and then.. I heard her say one more time:<br>

<br>

[sung:]<br>

<br>

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl<br>

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl<br>

<br>

[spoken:]<br>

I could feel hot flames of fire roaring at my back<br>

As she disappeared, but soon she returned<br>

In her hand was a bottle of wine, in the other, a glass<br>

She poured some of the wine from the bottle into the glass<br>

And raised it to her lips<br>

And just before she drank it, she said:<br>

<br>

[sung:]<br>

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl<br>

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl<br>

<br>
