Ten Cents a Dance - Ruth Etting[00:00:01]

Written by：Ruth Etting[00:00:02]

I work at the Palace Ball[00:00:05]

But gee that palace is cheap[00:00:10]

When I get back to my chilly hallroom[00:00:15]

I'm much too 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]

At exactly a dime a throw[00:00:36]

Ten cents a dance[00:00:42]

That's what they pay me[00:00:44]

Gosh how they weigh me down[00:00:47]

Ten cents a dance[00:00:51]

Pansys and rough guys[00:00:54]

Tough guys who tear my gown[00:00:56]

Seven to midnight I hear drums[00:01:00]

Loudly the saxaphone blows[00:01:05]

Trumpets are breaking my eardrums[00:01:09]

Customers crush my toes[00:01:14]

Sometimes I think I've found my hero[00:01:19]

But it's a queer romance[00:01:23]

All that you need is a ticket[00:01:27]

Come on big boy[00:01:32]

Ten cents a dance[00:01:35]

Fighters and sailors and bow legged tailors[00:01:37]

Can pay for a ticket and rent me[00:01:41]

Butchers and barbers and rats from the harbors[00:01:45]

Are sweethearts my good luck has sent me[00:01:49]

Though I've a chorus of elderly beaus[00:01:53]

Stockings are porous with holes in the toes[00:01:58]

I'm there till closing time[00:02:02]

Dance and be merry it's only a dime[00:02:07]

Ten cents a dance[00:02:12]

That's what they pay me[00:02:14]

Gosh how they weigh me down[00:02:16]

Ten cents a dance[00:02:21]

Pansys and rough guys[00:02:23]

Tough guys who tear my gown[00:02:26]

Seven to midnight I hear drums[00:02:30]

Loudly the saxaphone blows[00:02:35]

Trumpets are breaking my eardrums[00:02:39]

Customers crush my toes[00:02:44]

Sometimes I think I've found my hero[00:02:49]

But it's a queer romance[00:02:54]

All that you need is a ticket[00:02:58]

Come on big boy[00:03:03]

Ten cents a dance[00:03:06]
