Lyrics

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 laid there in the sun
And felt it caressing my face
As I fell asleep and dreamed
I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie
That I was the star of the movie
This really blew my mind, the fact that me
A long haired, overfed leaping gnome
Could be the star of a Hollywood movie, mm-hm
But there I was
I was taken to a place
The hall of the Mountain Kings
Stood high upon the 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, crazy ones
Out of the middle, came a lady
She whispered in my ear something crazy, she said
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, get that girl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, get that girl
I thought to myself, "Mm, mm, I wonder what that could mean?
Am I going crazy, or is this just a dream?"
Now wait a minute
I know I'm living in a field of grass somewhere
So it's all in my head
And then I heard her say, "One more time, baby"
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, get that girl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, get that girl
I could feel hot flames of fire roaring up 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
Raised it to her lips and just before she drank it, she said
Spill the wine, get that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, get that girl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, get that girl
Spill the wine, take the pearl (spill the wine)
Yeah, she's all your now, baby, yeah (get that girl)
Come on, been a long time (spill the wine)
Been long time, yeah (get that girl)
Get it in my, get it in my, in my, in my, in my (spill the wine, get that girl)
In my, in my, yeah (spill the wine, take that pearl) in my...
