* 16-bar intro
* Verse 1 *spoken*
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
As 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 over-faired, long-haired, leing gnome
Should be the star of a Hollywood movie.
Mmm, but there I was
*sung*
Mmm, 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 long ones, tall ones, short ones, brown ones,
Black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones.
Out of the middle
Came a lady.
She whispered in my ear,
Soft and crazy.
She said,
* Chorus Spill the wine, take that girl (4x)
* Verse 2 *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,
* Repeat chorus
* Verse 3 *spoken*
I could feel hot flames of fire roaring at my back
As she dispeared,
But soon she'd return.
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 drunk it,
She said,
* Chorus 2 Take the wine, take that girl.
Spill the wine, take that girl. (3x)
* Ad-lib
