Lyrics

[00:29.83] We skipped the light fandango
[00:35.82] And turned cartwheels cross the floor.
[00:43.25] I was feeling kind of seasick
[00:49.92] The crowd called out for more.
[00:56.20] The room was humming harder
[01:01.50] And the ceiling flew away
[01:09.49] When we called out for another drink
[01:15.74] The waitress brought a tray
[01:21.93] And so it was that later
[01:29.72] As the miller told his tale
[01:36.34] That her face at first so ghostly
[01:42.39] Turned a whiter shade of pale.
[02:15.98] She said "There is no reason,
[02:22.34] And the truth is plain to see",
[02:29.14] But I wandered through my playing cards
[02:35.70] And would not let her be
[02:42.31] One of sixteen vestal virgins
[02:49.06] Who were leaving for the coast
[02:55.18] Although both my eyes were open
[03:01.98] They might just just have well been closed.
[03:06.67] And so it was that later
[03:16.09] As the miller told his tale
[03:22.07] Her face at first just ghostly
[03:27.50] Turned a whiter shade of pale.
