We skipped the 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 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

She said there is no 
reason
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing 
cards
And I would not let her be
One of the sixteen vestal virgins
Who 
were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just 
as well've been closed

[Chorus]
