Boat That Rocked movie - A Whiter Shade Of Pale lyrics

rate me

We skipped a light fandango,<br>

Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor.<br>

I was feeling kind of seasick,<br>

But the crowd called out for more.<br>

The room was humming harder,<br>

As the ceiling flew away.<br>

When we called out for another drink,<br>

The waiter brought a tray.<br>

<br>

And so it was that later,<br>

As the miller told his tale,<br>

That her face at first just ghostly,<br>

Turned a whiter shade of pale.<br>

<br>

She said there is no reason,<br>

And the truth is plain to see<br>

That I wandered through my playing cards,<br>

And would not let her be<br>

One of sixteen vestal virgins<br>

Who were leaving for the coast.<br>

And although my eyes were open,<br>

They might just as well have been closed.<br>

<br>

And so it was later,<br>

As the miller told his tale,<br>

That her face at first just ghostly,<br>

Turned a whiter shade of pale.<br>

<br>
