​ 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

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 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

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 ​
