We skipped a light fandangle, turned some cartwheels across the floor 
I was feelin' kinda seasick, when the crowd called out for more 
The room was humming harder, and the ceiling flew away 
When I called out for another drink, or the waiter brought a tray 
And so it was, later when the Miller told his tale 
That her face at first just ghostly, Turned a whiter, shade of pale 
{guitarsolo} 
He said there is no reason, and the truth was plain to see 
That I wandered through my playing cards, I just could not let her be 
no 
One of sixteen vestile virgins, was leaving for the coast 
And although, my eyes were open, they might just as well been closed 
And so it was, later, when the Miller told his tale 
He said her face at first, just ghostly and turned a whiter, shade of pale 
{guitar solo} 
And so it was, later, when the Miller told his tale 
He said our faces, our faces burst as ghostly 
They turned a whiter, shade of pale 
Just a whiter, shade of pale 
They turned a whiter, shade of pale..............
