Maiden Wine

"Maiden Wine" was the song sung by Spock while he was being manipulated by the Platonians in 2268. 

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
