Spill the Wine Songtext
von Eric Burdon & The Animals

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, hmm

But there I was, I was taken to a place
The hall of the Mountain Kings
Stood high by 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, "Hmm, hm, I wonder what that could mean?
Am I going crazy, or is this just a dream?"
Now wait a minute
I know I′m laying 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 that pearl
Spill the wine, get that girl (yeah, she, come, come now baby)

Come, been a long time (spill the wine, get that girl)
Been long time yeah, get it
My-my-my, my-my-my
Yeah
