Ten Cents A Dance - Ruth Etting[00:00:00]
I work at the palace ballroom[00:00:05]
But gee that palace is cheap[00:00:10]
When i get back to my chilly hall room[00:00:14]
I'm much to tired to sleep[00:00:19]
I'm one of those lady teachers[00:00:23]
A beautiful hostess you know[00:00:28]
The kind the palace features[00:00:32]
Exactly a dime a throw[00:00:37]
Ten cents a dance[00:00:42]
That's what they pay me[00:00:45]
Gosh how they weigh me down[00:00:47]
Ten cents a dance[00:00:52]
Pansies and rough guys[00:00:54]
Tough guys who tear my gown[00:00:56]
Seven to midnight i hear drums[00:01:01]
Loudly the saxophone blows[00:01:05]
Trumpets are breaking my eardrums[00:01:10]
Customers crush my toes[00:01:15]
Sometime i think[00:01:19]
I've found my hero[00:01:22]
But it's a queer romance[00:01:24]
All that you need is a ticket[00:01:28]
Come on big boy ten cents a dance[00:01:33]
Fighters and sailors and bowlegged tailors[00:01:38]
Can pay for their ticket and rent me[00:01:42]
Butchers and barbers and rats from the harbors[00:01:46]
Are sweethearts my good luck has send me[00:01:50]
Though i've a chorus of elderly beaux[00:01:54]
Stockings are porous with hole at the toes[00:01:59]
I'm there till closing time[00:02:04]
Dance and be merry it's only a dime[00:02:08]
Ten cents a dance[00:02:13]
That's what they pay me[00:02:15]
Gosh how they weigh me down[00:02:18]
Ten cents a dance[00:02:22]
Pansies and rough guys[00:02:25]
Tough guys who tear my gown[00:02:27]
Seven to midnight i hear drums[00:02:32]
Loudly the saxophone blows[00:02:36]
Trumpets are breaking my eardrums[00:02:41]
Customers crush my toes[00:02:46]
Sometime i think[00:02:50]
I've found my hero[00:02:53]
But it's a queer romance[00:02:55]
All that you need is a ticket[00:03:00]
Come on big boy ten cents a dance[00:03:05]
