Whiter Shade Of Pale

We skipped the light fandango
Turned some cartwheels across the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick

When the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
And the ceiling flew away

When I called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray

And so it was later
When the miller told this 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"
That I wandered through my playing cards

And could not let her be, no
One of 16 vestal virgins
Who was leaving for the coast

And although my eyes were open
They might just as well have been closed

And so it was later
When the miller told this tale
He said that her face at first just ghostly
And then turned a whiter shade of pale

And so it was later
When the miller told this tale
He said that her face at first just ghostly
Then turned a whiter shade of pale

Oh, just a whiter shade of pale
Then turned a whiter shade of pale
