Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feelin' kind of seasick
The crowd called out for more
[Verse 2]
The room was hummin' harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Oh, 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
[Verse 5]
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leavin' for the coast
Oh, and although my eyes were open
They might just as well be closed
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Oh, 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
[Verse 8]
Oh, 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...
