Ten Cents A Dance - Ella Fitzgerald (埃拉·菲茨杰拉德)[00:00:00]
Written by:Rogers/Hart/Richard Rodgers[00:00:00]
I work at the palace ballroom but[00:00:14]
Gee that palace is cheap[00:00:19]
When I get back to my chilly hall room[00:00:23]
I'm much too tired to sleep[00:00:28]
I'm one of those lady teachers[00:00:33]
A beautiful hostess you know[00:00:38]
When the palace features[00:00:42]
At exactly a dime a throw[00:00:47]
Ten cents a dance[00:00:55]
That's what they pay me[00:00:59]
Gosh how they weigh me down[00:01:02]
Ten cents a dance[00:01:10]
Pansies and rough guys[00:01:15]
Tough guys who tear my gown[00:01:18]
Seven to midnight I hear drums[00:01:26]
Loudly the saxophone blows[00:01:34]
Trumpets are tearing my eardrums[00:01:42]
Customers crush my toes[00:01:50]
Sometime I think[00:01:58]
I've found my hero[00:02:02]
But it's a queer romance[00:02:06]
All that you need is a ticket[00:02:13]
Come on big boy ten cents a dance[00:02:21]
Fighters and sailors and bowlegged tailors[00:02:29]
Can pay for their ticket and rent me[00:02:33]
Butchers and barbers and rats from the harbors[00:02:38]
Are sweethearts my good luck has sent me[00:02:42]
Though I've a chorus of elderly beaux[00:02:47]
Stockings are porous with holes at the toes[00:02:52]
I'm here till closing time[00:02:57]
Dance and be merry it's only a dime[00:03:06]
Sometime I think[00:03:15]
I've found my hero[00:03:19]
But it's a queer romance[00:03:22]
All that you need is a ticket[00:03:29]
Come on come on big boy ten cents a dance[00:03:37]
