Spill the wine and take that pearl<br />

Spill the wine and take that pearl<br />

Spill the wine and take that pearl<br />

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<br />

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 />

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<br />

Spill the wine and take that pearl<br />

Spill the wine and take that pearl<br />

Spill the wine and take that pearl"<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 and then<br />

I heard her say one more time<br />

<br />

"Spill the wine and take that pearl<br />

Spill the wine and take that pearl<br />

Spill the wine and take that pearl<br />

Spill the wine and take that pearl"<br />

<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 />

"Spill the wine and take that pearl<br />

Spill the wine and take that pearl<br />

Spill the wine and take that pearl<br />

Spill the wine and take that pearl"
