We skipped the light fandango   And turned cartwheels cross the floor.   I was feeling kind of seasick   The crowd called out for more.   The room was humming harder   And the ceiling flew away   When we called out for another drink   The waitress brought a tray   And so it was that later   As the miller told his tale   That her face at first so 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 would not let her be   One of sixteen vestal virgins   Who were leaving for the coast   Although both my eyes were open   They might just just have well been closed.   And so it was that later   As the miller told his tale   Her face at first just ghostly   Turned a whiter shade of pale.         [The following are additional lyrics    as sung in concert]         She said she wanted shore leave   Tho in truth we were at sea   So I took her by a looking glass   And forced her to agree   Saying you must be the mermaid   Who took Neptune for a ride   Well she smiled at me so sadly   That my anger straightway died   And so it was, etc?
