A Whiter Shade of Pale Lyrics

	We tripped the light Fandango
	And turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
	I was feeling kind of seasick
	But 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
	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 playin' 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 have just as well have been closed
	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, “I'm here on a shore leave;
	Though we were miles at sea”
	I pointed out this detail
	And forced her to agree,
	Saying, “You must be the mermaid
	Who took King Neptune for a ride”
	And she smiled at me so sweetly
	That my anger straightway died.
	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

	We tripped the light Fandango
	And turned cartwheels ' cross the floor
	I was feeling kind of seasick
	But 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
	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 playin' 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 have just as well have been closed
	So it was that later

	That her face at first just ghostly
	Turned a whiter shade of pale
	She said, " I' m here on a shore leave
	Though we were miles at sea"
	I pointed out this detail
	And forced her to agree,
