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

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

I work at the palace ballroom[00:00:05]

But gee that palace is cheap[00:00:09]

When I get back to my chilly hallroom[00:00:14]

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

I'm one of those lady teachers[00:00:22]

A beautiful hostess you know[00:00:27]

One that the palace features[00:00:31]

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

Ten cents a dance[00:00:41]

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

Gosh how they weigh me down[00:00:46]

Ten cents a dance[00:00:51]

Pansies and rough guys[00:00:53]

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

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

Loudly the saxophone blows[00:01:05]

Trumpets are breaking my ear drums[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[00:01:24]

All that you need is a ticket[00:01:28]

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 their tickets 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 bows[00:01:54]

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

I'm here till closing time[00:02:03]

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[00:02:17]

Ten cents a dance[00:02:21]

Pansies and rough guys[00:02:24]

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

Seven to midnight I hear drums[00:02:31]

Loudly the saxophone blows[00:02:35]

Trumpets are breaking my ear drums[00:02:40]

Customers crush my toes[00:02:45]

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[00:02:59]

Come on big boy[00:03:04]

Ten cents a dance[00:03:07]
