Whiter Shade of Pale

Gary Brooker, Keith Reid, Matthew Fisher, Alton Ellis

[Verse 1]
You skipped a light fandango
Turn cartwheels across the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
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 his tray

[Chorus]
There's only one shade
As the mirror chose its share
Let her face the worst as costly
Turn a whiter shade of pale

[Verse 2]
You said there is no reason
Yet the truth was plain to see
That I wander 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 open
I might've just as well been closed

[Chorus]
That's only one shade
As the mirror chose his share
Let her face the worst just costly
And turn a whiter shade of pale
