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
