We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge 1]
[Verse 2]
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
And although my eyes were open
They might have just as well've been closed
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge 2]
[Additional Verse]
She said, 'I'm home on shore leave,'
Though in truth we were at sea
So I took her by the looking glass
And forced her to agree
Saying, 'You must be the mermaid
Who took Neptune for a ride.'
But she smiled at me so sadly
That my anger straightway died
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
If music be the food of love
Then laughter is its queen
And likewise if behind is in front
Then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
Seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
And attacked the ocean bed
[Chorus]
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
Kami melewatkan cahaya fandango
Memutar cartwheels 'lintas lantai
Saya merasa agak mabuk
Tetapi kerumunan memanggil lebih banyak
Ruangan itu bersenandung lebih keras
Saat langit-langit terbang pergi
Ketika kami memanggil minuman lain
Pelayan membawa nampan
[Paduan suara]
Dan jadi itu nanti
Seperti yang diceritakan oleh Miller-nya
Bahwa wajahnya, pada awalnya hanya hantu
Berbalik naungan pucat yang lebih putih
[Jembatan 1]
[Ayat 2]
Katanya, tidak ada alasan
Dan kebenarannya jelas untuk dilihat
Tapi saya berjalan melalui kartu bermain saya
Dan tidak akan membiarkannya
Salah satu dari enam belas perawan vestal
Yang pergi ke pantai
Dan meskipun mataku terbuka
Mereka mungkin baru saja ditutup
[Paduan suara]
Dan jadi itu nanti
Seperti yang diceritakan oleh Miller-nya
Bahwa wajahnya pada awalnya hanya hantu
Berbalik naungan pucat yang lebih putih
[Jembatan 2]
[Ayat Tambahan]
Dia berkata, 'Aku pulang dengan pergi ke pantai,'
Padahal sebenarnya kami berada di laut
Jadi saya membawanya dengan kaca yang tampak
Dan memaksanya untuk setuju
Mengatakan, 'Anda pasti putri duyung
Yang mengambil Neptunus untuk tumpangan. '
Tapi dia tersenyum sedih
Bahwa kemarahan saya langsung mati
[Paduan suara]
Dan jadi itu nanti
Seperti yang diceritakan oleh Miller-nya
Bahwa wajahnya pada awalnya hanya hantu
Berbalik naungan pucat yang lebih putih
[Ayat 4]
Jika musik menjadi makanan cinta
Lalu tawa adalah ratu
Dan juga jika di belakang ada di depan
Maka kotoran dalam kebenaran itu bersih
Mulutku saat itu seperti kardus
Sepertinya tergelincir langsung di kepala saya
Jadi kami crash-menyelam langsung dengan cepat
Dan menyerang tempat tidur laut
[Paduan suara]
Dan jadi itu nanti
Seperti yang diceritakan oleh Miller-nya
Bahwa wajahnya pada awalnya hanya hantu
Berbalik naungan pucat yang lebih putih
