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

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, round ones, big 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
