Ahh, yes...turning Seven. Where were You in the Summer of 1970...?

Spill The Wine...

I was once out strolling one very hot summer's day,
When I thought I'd lay myself down to rest
in a big...field of tall grass!
I lay there in the Sun...and felt it, caressing my Face...

And I fell asleep and dreamed~
I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie...
And that I was the Star of the movie...!?!
This really blew my mind...the fact that me,
an overfed, long-haired leaping gnome...
should be the Star of a Hollywood movie...?!!

But there I was...!
I was taken to a place...The Hall of the Mountain Kings...
I stood high upon a Mountain Top, naked to the world...!
In front of every kind of Girl!
There was black ones, brown ones, big ones, round ones, fat ones, tall ones, yellow ones, Crazy Ones...

Out of the Middle...came a Lady
She whispered in my ear...something Crazy~
She said:

"Spill the wine and take that Pearl, Spill the wine and take that Pearl
Spill the wine and take that Pearl, Spill the wine and take that Pearl...!"


[spoken]

I thought to myself what could that mean...?
Am I going crazy or is this just a dream...?
Now, wait a minute...
I know I'm lying in a field of grass somewhere, so it's all in my head...!
-And then... I heard Her say One more Time:

[sung]

"Spill the wine and take that Pearl, Spill the wine and take that Pearl...!
Spill the wine and take that Pearl, Spill the wine and take that Pearl...!"


[spoken]
I could feel Hot Flames of Fire roaring at my back...!
As she disappeared...but soon...She returned~
In Her hand was a bottle of wine, in the other, a Glass...
She poured some of the wine from the bottle into the Glass...
And raised it to Her lips...
And just before she drank it, She said:

[sung]
"Spill the wine and take that Pearl, Spill the wine and take that Pearl...!
Spill the wine and take that Pearl, Spill the wine and take that Pearl...Take that Pearl...it's your Pearl...Oh, spill that wine, spill that wine...and take that Pearl...!"


Hey, Spillthewinespillthewinespillthewinespillthewinespillthewine,
spillthewine...Take that Pearl...!
