[00:32.63] We skipped the light fandango
[00:33.98] Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
[00:39.23] I was feeling kinda seasick
[00:45.80] But the crowd called out for more
[00:52.22] The room was humming harder
[00:59.13] As the ceiling flew away
[01:03.38] When we called out for another drink
[01:11.37] The waiter brought a tray
[01:15.85] And so it was that later
[01:22.69] As the miller told his tale
[01:28.63] That her face, at first just ghostly
[01:35.17] Turned a whiter shade of pale
[01:42.26] She said, 'There is no reason
[02:14.75] And the truth is plain to see.'
[02:23.83] But I wandered through my playing cards
[02:29.25] And would not let her be
[02:35.44] One of sixteen vestal virgins
[02:39.90] Who were leaving for the coast
[02:45.86] And although my eyes were open
[02:53.77] They might have just as well've been closed
[02:58.71] And so it was that later
[03:07.48] As the miller told his tale
[03:12.35] That her face, at first just ghostly
[03:18.91] Turned a whiter shade of pale
[03:25.33]
Procol Harum () were an English rock band formed in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, in 1967.
