A Whiter Shade Of Pale by Procol Harum

We (1)______________ 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 (2)________ away
When we (3)____________ out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
As the (4)____________ told his tale
That her face at (5)__________ just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said, I'm (6)________ on (7)__________ leave
Though in truth we were at sea
So I took her by the looking glass
And (8)__________ not let her be
Saying, you must be the mermaid
Who (9)________ neptune for a ride
But she (10)____________ at me so sadly
That my anger straightway died
And so it was (11)________ later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a (12)____________ shade of pale

She (13)________ (14)__________ is no reason
And the truth is plain to see
But I (15)________________ through my playing cards
Would not let her be

Who were (16)______________ for the coast
At the moment my (17)________ (18)________ open
They might just as well (19)________ been closed
And so it was (20)________ later
As the (21)____________ (22)________ his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a (23)____________ shade of pale

And so it was (24)________ later
As the miller told his tale
That her (25)________ at first (26)________ ghostly
Turned a (27)____________ shade of pale
