A Whiter Shade Of Pale
We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more
And the room was humming harder, hm
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
But the waiter brought the tray
And so it was later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale, hm
You, you said there is no reason, no
And the truth is plain to see, hm
Yet, I wandered through my playing cards
And I would not, and I would not let it be
I'm one of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might, they might just as well have been closed
And so it was later
As the miller told his tale
That had her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
Oh, it turned a whiter, whiter shade
It turned a whiter shade of pale
Oh, it turned a whiter, whiter, whiter shade of pale
Whiter, whiter
Da, da-da, da, da-da, da, da
Whiter, a whiter shade of pale, yeah, hm
Oh, it turned a whiter shade of pale
Turned a whiter shade of pale
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more
And the room was humming harder, hm
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
But the waiter brought the tray
And so it was later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale, hm
You, you said there is no reason, no
And the truth is plain to see, hm
Yet, I wandered through my playing cards
And I would not, and I would not let it be
I'm one of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might, they might just as well have been closed
And so it was later
As the miller told his tale
That had her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
Oh, it turned a whiter, whiter shade
It turned a whiter shade of pale
Oh, it turned a whiter, whiter, whiter shade of pale
Whiter, whiter
Da, da-da, da, da-da, da, da
Whiter, a whiter shade of pale, yeah, hm
Oh, it turned a whiter shade of pale
Turned a whiter shade of pale
