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,
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
