We skipped the light fandango

Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor

I was feeling kind of seasick

The crowd called out for more



The room was humming harder

As the ceiling flew away

When we called out for another drink

The waiter brought a tray



And so it was that later

As the miller told his tale

That her face at first just ghostly

Turned a whiter shade of pale



She said: "there is no reason

And the truth is plain to see."

But i wandered through my playing cards

And would not let her be



One of sixteen vestal virgins

Who were leaving for the coast

And although my eyes were open

They might just as well be closed



And so it was that later

As the miller told his tale

That her face at first just ghostly

Turned a whiter shade of pale



And so it was that later

As the miller told his tale

That her face at first just ghostly

Turned a whiter shade of pale



And so it was that later

As the miller told his tale

That her face at first just ghostly

Turned a whiter shade of pale
