WHITER SHADE OF PALE Procul Harum We skipped the light fan dango, turned cartwheels cross the floor I was feelin' kinda seasick , but the crowd called out for more The room was humming harder , as the ceiling flew a way When we called out for a nother drink , the waiter brought a tray And so it wa-a-as that later , as the miller told his tale That her face at first just ghostly , turned a whiter shade of pale She said there is no reason, and the truth is plain to see As I wandered thru my playing cards, and would not let her be One of sixteen Vestal Virgins, who were leaving for the coast And although my eyes were opened, they might just as well be closed And so it wa-a-as that later, as the miller told his tale That her face at first just ghostly, turned a whiter shade of pale.
