This wine has got bad sediment
Bad sediment is in my glass
No, don't shake it up
There's some bad sediment
I want another bottle right here and fast

What you recommended was a Margeaux '59
For the money I expended, well I want a better wine
It's really rather cloudy and there's little bits of cork
And if it gets much thicker then I'll eat it with a fork
And there's something in the bottle looking very much like chalk

Then you say - That's what you get for pouring too fast
Hey, no way - It may be old but it really should last
I won't pay - I know how to treat wines of this class
And to shake before you serve's a recipe for disas-

Chorus:
This wine has got bad sediment
Bad sediment is in my glass
No, don't shake it up
There's some bad sediment
I want another bottle right here and fast
Bad, bad sediment
Bad, bad sediment

You know I don't want Liebfraumilch or any other wines like them
But you really shouldn't agitate mature Chateau Yquem
When you found that bottle of Chateauneuf du Pape
I was not at all surprised to find it too was full of crap
And you look like I'm a crocodile who's ready to snap

Then you say - That's what you get for pouring too fast
Hey, no way - It may be old but it really should last
I won't pay - I know how to treat wines of this class
And to shake before you serve's a recipe for disas-
Ter

Chorus

(Solo wine-tasting)

Your sediment'ry wine you know it's driving me insane
So stop wasting my time and bring a bottle of Champagne
So far I've never seen a trace of sediment in that
But then you find the cork don't pop and that the Bollinger is flat
