Intro

                 

Verse

We skipped the light fandango 
turned cartwheels 'cross the floor 
I was feeling kinda seasick 
but the crowd called out for more 
The room was humming harder 
as the ceiling flew away 
When we called out for another drink
the waiter brought a tray

Chorus

And so it was,___ that later,____
as the miller told his tale 
that her face, at first just ghostly, 
turned a whiter shade of pale  
                 

Verse 2

She said there 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 vestal virgins 
Who were leaving for the coast 
And although my eyes were o____pen
They might just as well been closed

Chorus

And so it was,___ that 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 told his tale
