A Whiter Shade Of Pale by Procol Harum

We skipped a light fandango
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 (1)______________ drink

And so it was that later
As the (2)____________ (3)________ his tale
That her face at (4)__________ (5)________ ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said, I'm home on shore leave
Though in truth we were at sea
So I took her by the looking glass
And would not let her be
Saying, you must be the mermaid
Who took neptune for a ride
But she (6)____________ at me so sadly
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 (7)__________ of pale

She said there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
Would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
At the (8)____________ my eyes were open
They might just as well have been closed
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at (9)__________ 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
