Ten Cents a Dance - Ella Fitzgerald (埃拉·菲茨杰拉德)[00:00:00]
I work at the palace ballroom [00:00:14]
But gee that palace is cheap[00:00:19]
When I get back to my chillly hallroom [00:00:23]
Im much too tired to sleep[00:00:28]
Im one of those lady teachers [00:00:33]
A beautiful hostess you know;[00:00:37]
One that the palace features [00:00:42]
At exactly a dime a throw [00:00:46]
Ten cents a dance [00:00:54]
Thats what they pay me[00:00:59]
Gosh how they weigh me down [00:01:02]
Ten cents a dance pansies and rough guys [00:01:10]
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 ear-drums [00:01:42]
Customers crush my toes [00:01:50]
Sometimes I think Ive found my hero[00:01:57]
But its 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 sailers and bow-legged tailors[00:02:29]
Can pay for their tickets & rent me[00:02:33]
Butchers and barbers and rats from the harbour[00:02:38]
Are sweethearts my good luck has sent me[00:02:42]
Thought Ive a chorus of elderly bows[00:02:48]
Stockings are porous with holes at the toes[00:02:52]
Im here till closing time[00:02:58]
Dance and be merry its only a dime[00:03:07]
Sometimes I think [00:03:15]
Ive found my hero[00:03:19]
But its a queer romance;[00:03:23]
All that you need is a ticket [00:03:30]
Come on come on big boy [00:03:38]
Ten cents a dance[00:03:42]
