We skipped 

             
the light fand

     
ango
             
   Turned cart

              
wheels 'cross 

          
the floor 
             
   I was feeli

            
ng kinda seasi

     
ck 
             
   But the cro

              
wd called out 

        
for more 
             
   The room wa

            
s humming hard

     
er 
             
   As the ceil

             
ing flew away 
             
   When we cal

             
led out for an

     
other drink 
             
   The waiter 

          
brought a tray

.


            
   And so it w

         
as that later 
             
   As the mill

            
er told his ta

   She said, "

              
I'm home on a 

             
shore leave,"
             
   Though in t

              
ruth waved at 

      
sea
             
   So I took h

   Would not l

, 
             
   Saying, "Yo

   That took N

   She smiled 

             
at me so sadly
             
   That my ang

              
er straightway

 
 died.


            
   And so it w

   She said, "

   But I wande
