We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor I was feeling kind of seasick The crowd called out for more The room was humming harder As the ceiling flew away yeah 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 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 ohah And although my eyes were opened They might just as well be 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 - ahah ahah Ohoh 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 Ohoh 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 Sung by Procol Harum and later Annie Lennox

There are many different theories about the meaning of the song. Some even suggest there are some insinuations about Kennedy in it. I googled up the lyrics and there are sites that discuss the meanings.
