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 (1)______________ flew away
When we called out for (2)______________ drink
The (3)____________ brought a tray
And so it was that later
As the miller (4)________ his tale
That her (5)________ at (6)__________ just ghostly
Turned a whiter (7)__________ of pale
She said, I'm home on shore leave
Though in (8)__________ we (9)________ at sea
So I took her by the (10)______________ glass
And would not let her be
Saying, you must be the mermaid
Who took (11)______________ for a ride
But she smiled at me so sadly
That my anger straightway died
And so it was that later
As the miller (12)________ his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a (13)____________ shade of pale
She said (14)__________ 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 (15)____________ virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
At the (16)____________ my eyes were open
They (17)__________ (18)________ as well have been closed
And so it was that later
As the (19)____________ told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a (20)____________ (21)__________ of pale
And so it was (22)________ later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter (23)__________ of pale
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
