|··We skipped the light fan|dango |
|C Em/B |Am C/G | | |
|
|··turned cartwheels 'cross the |floor |
|F Am |Dm F/C | | |
|
|··I was feeling kinda |seasick |
|G G/F |Em G7 | | |
|
|··but the crowd called out for |more |
|C F |C G | | |
|
|··The room was humming |harder |
|C Em/B |Am C/G | | |
|
|··as the ceiling flew a|way |
|F Am/E |Dm F/C | | |
|
|··When we called out for an|other drink |

|
|··the waiter brought a |tray |

And so it |was that |later |

|
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 | || | |
|
|··and although my eyes were open | || | |
|
|··they might have just as well've been closed | || | |
