Is this the only song ever about a conversation with a sommelier?
I discovered this by complete accident, listening to an artist suggested on the ‘Discovery’ page of Spotify and after a few songs, I took a double-take. “… did she just say ‘wine’?”
I listened again, and I loved it. It is a bit odd (what lyrics aren’t, really?) but there’s a particularly great image that deserves to be used again and again: The wine list as a storybook:
Sommelier, sommelier, what have I done? Let’s have a look
Sommelier, in my storybook
I searched, but could not find, the lyrics to Sommelier by Nekta, so I’ve written them as best I can below
Enjoy!
Sommelier – Nekta, Storybook 2010
Sommelier, sommelier, offer me wine
Sparkling white wine
Sommelier, my dear that’s divine
Sommelier, sommelier, many good buys in the last years
Sommelier, that explains my fears
So I’m better off than many others are
You just keep on telling me feel free
and I won’t grow up
and I won’t grow up
and I won’t grow up
Sommelier, sommelier, offer me wine
Sparkling white wine
Sommelier, now’s the time
Sommelier, sommelier, what have I done
let’s have a look
Sommelier, in my storybook
I once was a good girl, but I know what I lost
Now I try not to be mean, still dress like a teen
and I won’t grow up
and I won’t grow up
and I won’t grow up
and I won’t grow up
and I won’t grow up
and I won’t grow up
