Spock sings Maiden Wine
Maiden Wine is the song sung by Spock while he was being manipulated by the Platonians in 2268. (TOS: "Plato's Stepchildren")
Lyrics
- Take care, young ladies, and value your wine.
- Be watchful of young men in their velvet prime.
- Deeply they'll swallow from your finest kegs,
- Then swiftly be gone, leaving bitter dregs.
- Ahh-ah-ah-ah, bitter dregs.
- With smiling words and tender touch,
- Man offers little and asks for so much.
- He loves in the breathless excitement of night,
- Then leaves with your treasure in cold morning light.
- Ahh-ah-ah-ah, in cold morning light.
Background
The song was written by Leonard Nimoy himself. (Star Trek: The Original Series 365, p. 307) The full version with musical arrangement and a second verse appears on the 1969 DOT LP, "The Touch Of Leonard Nimoy".
