A Whiter Shade Of Pale by Procol Harum

We skipped a light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling (1)________ of seasick
(But the) crowd called out for more
The (2)________ was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The (3)____________ brought a tray
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her (4)________ at first (5)________ ghostly
Turned a (6)____________ (7)__________ of pale

She said, I'm (8)________ on shore leave
Though in (9)__________ 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 (10)________ (11)______________ for a ride
But she (12)____________ 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 (13)__________ just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said there is no reason
And the (14)__________ is plain to see
But I (15)________________ through my playing cards
Would not let her be
One of sixteen (16)____________ virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
At the moment my eyes (17)________ open
They might just as well have been closed
And so it was that later
As the (18)____________ told his tale
That her (19)________ at (20)__________ (21)________ ghostly
Turned a (22)____________ shade of pale

And so it was (23)________ later
As the (24)____________ told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter (25)__________ of pale
