Subject: RE: Is 'Bitter Dregs' a real song???? (from Star Trek)
Yeah, and it's called "Maiden Wine". The song was composed by Leonard Nimoy (featured on "Star Trek: TOS" episode "Plato's Stepchildren". It's a 2nd track of Leonard Nimoy's 4th album "The Touch of Leonard Nimoy" (1969). Here's the full lyrics, dude:

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.

Your time hold precious for youth is your gold
Your beauty like silver will tarnish when old
Memories and dreams shall comfort you not
When the flow of your sweetness is gone and forgot.
Ahh-ah-ah-ah, gone and forgot.

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.


Thanks!
