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 room was (2)______________ harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for (3)______________ drink
The waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
As the miller (4)________ his tale
That her (5)________ at first just ghostly
Turned a (6)____________ shade of pale
She said, I'm home on shore leave
Though in (7)__________ we (8)________ at sea
So I (9)________ her by the (10)______________ glass
And would not let her be
Saying, you must be the mermaid
Who (11)________ (12)______________ for a ride
But she smiled at me so sadly
That my anger (13)______________________ died
And so it was (14)________ later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at (15)__________ (16)________ ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
She said there is no reason
And the truth is (17)__________ to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
Would not let her be
One of (18)______________ vestal virgins
Who (19)________ (20)______________ for the coast
At the moment my eyes were open
They (21)__________ just as (22)________ have been closed
And so it was (23)________ later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
And so it was that later
As the miller (24)________ his tale
That her face at first (25)________ ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
