Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was (2)______________ kind of seasick
(But the) crowd (3)____________ out for more
The (4)________ was humming harder
As the (5)______________ (6)________ away
When we called out for another drink

And so it was that later
As the miller (14)________ his tale
That her face, at first (15)________ ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said (16)__________ is no reason
And the (17)__________ is (18)__________ to see

That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at (25)__________ just ghostly
Turned a whiter (26)__________ of pale
