The record first reached the Billboard charts on April 10, 1942, and lasted 15 weeks on the chart, including six weeks at #1. The lyrics in this version differ slightly from those in the movie.

The song Maiden Wine was featured in the Star Trek episode, Platos Stepchildren. It is the song sung by Spock while he was being manipulated by the Platonians in 2268 (hence the serenade from the laughing spaceman, as originally named).
Leonard Nimoy wrote three sections, only the first and last were used in the Star Trek episode:
Take care, young ladies, and value your wine.
Be watchful of young men in their velvet prime.
Deeply theyll 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.")
