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

Written by：R. Rodgers/L. Hart[00:00:02]

I work at the palace ballroom but[00:00:04]

Gee that palace is cheap[00:00:09]

When I get back to my chilly hall room[00:00:13]

I'm much too tired to sleep[00:00:18]

I'm one of those lady teacher[00:00:21]

A beautiful hostess you know[00:00:26]

The kind the palace features[00:00:30]

At exactly a dime a throw[00:00:35]

Ten cents a dance[00:00:40]

That's what they pay me[00:00:43]

Gosh how they weigh me down[00:00:45]

Ten cents a dance[00:00:49]

Pansies and rough guys[00:00:52]

Tough guys who tear my gown[00:00:54]

Seven to midnight I hear drums[00:00:59]

Loudly the saxophone blows[00:01:03]

Trumpets are traking my eardrums[00:01:08]

Customers crush my toes[00:01:12]

Sometime I think[00:01:17]

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

But it's a queer romance[00:01:21]

All that you need is a ticket[00:01:26]

Come on big boy ten cents a dance[00:01:30]

Fighters sailors bowlegged tailors[00:01:36]

Can pay for their ticket and rent me[00:01:39]

Butchers and barbers and rats from the harbors[00:01:43]

Are sweethearts my good luck has sent me[00:01:47]

Though I've a chorus of elderly beaux[00:01:51]

Stockings are porous with holes at the toes[00:01:55]

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

Dance and be merry it's only a dime[00:02:05]

Ten cents a dance that's what they pay me[00:02:09]

Gosh how they weigh me down[00:02:14]

Ten cents a dance pansies and rough guys[00:02:18]

Tough guys who tear my gown[00:02:23]

Seven to midnight I hear drums[00:02:27]

Loudly the saxophone blows[00:02:32]

Trumpets are traking my ear drums[00:02:36]

Customers crush my toes[00:02:41]

Sometime I think[00:02:46]

I've found my hero[00:02:48]

But it's a queer romance[00:02:50]

All that you need is a ticket[00:02:54]

Come on big boy ten cents a dance[00:03:00]
