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
Vyskočili sme svetlo fandango
Obrátil sa cez podlahu
Cítil som sa trochu morský
Ale dav zavolal viac
Miestnosť bola horolezec
Ako strop odletel
Keď sme zavolali na iný nápoj
Čašník priniesol zásobník
[Chorus]
A tak to bolo, že neskôr
Ako povedal Miller Jeho príbeh
Že jej tvár, najprv len strašká
Otočil belší odtieň bledého
[Bridge 1]
[Verš 2]
Povedala, že nie je dôvod
A pravda je prostá vidieť
Ale ja som sa putoval cez moje hracie karty
A nenechal by ju byť
Jeden zo šestnástich víťazov
Ktorí odchádzali na pobrežie
A aj keď moje oči boli otvorené
Mohli by mať rovnako dobre
[Chorus]
A tak to bolo, že neskôr
Ako povedal Miller Jeho príbeh
Že jej tvár najprv strašidely
Otočil belší odtieň bledého
[Bridge 2]
[Ďalšie verš]
Povedala: "Som doma na pobreží, '
Aj keď sme boli na mori
Tak som ju vzal pri pohľade
A nútil ju súhlasiť
Hovorí: "Musíš byť morská panna
Kto vzal Neptún na jazdu.
Ale tak sa na mňa usmiala
Že moja hnevá cesta zomrela
[Chorus]
A tak to bolo, že neskôr
Ako povedal Miller Jeho príbeh
Že jej tvár najprv strašidely
Otočil belší odtieň bledého
[Verš 4]
Ak je hudba jedlo lásky
Potom je smiech jeho kráľovná
A rovnako ako za sebou je vpredu
Potom nečistoty v pravde je čisté
Moje ústa potom ako kartón
Zdalo sa, že skĺzne rovno cez moju hlavu
Tak rýchlo narazíme
A zaútočili na oceánske posteľ
[Chorus]
A tak to bolo, že neskôr
Ako povedal Miller Jeho príbeh
Že jej tvár najprv strašidely
Otočil belší odtieň bledého
