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

I work at the Palace Ball [00:00:04]

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

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

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]

The kind the palace features[00:00:31]

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

Ten cents a dance [00:00:41]

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

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

Ten cents a dance [00:00:50]

Pansys and rough guys[00:00:52]

Tough guys who tear my gown [00:00:55]

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

Loudly the saxaphone blows [00:01:04]

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

Customers crush my toes [00:01:13]

Sometimes I think I've found my hero[00:01:17]

But it's a queer romance [00:01:22]

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

Come on big boy [00:01:31]

Ten cents a dance [00:01:33]

Fighters and sailors[00:01:36]

And bow-legged tailors[00:01:38]

Can pay for a ticket and rent me [00:01:40]

Butchers and barbers[00:01:44]

And rats from the harbors[00:01:46]

Are sweethearts my good luck[00:01:48]

Has sent me [00:01:50]

Though I've a chorus of elderly beaus [00:01:52]

Stockings are porous[00:01:56]

With holes in the toes [00:01:59]

I'm there till closing time [00:02:01]

Dance and be merry [00:02:05]

It's only a dime[00:02:08]

Ten cents a dance [00:02:10]

That's what they pay me [00:02:12]

Gosh how they weigh me down [00:02:15]

Ten cents a dance [00:02:19]

Pansys and rough guys[00:02:22]

Tough guys who tear my gown [00:02:24]

Seven to midnight I hear drums [00:02:29]

Loudly the saxaphone blows [00:02:33]

Trumpets are breaking my eardrums[00:02:38]

Customers crush my toes [00:02:43]

Sometimes I think I've found my hero[00:02:47]

But it's a queer romance [00:02:52]

All that you need is a ticket[00:02:56]

Come on big boy [00:03:01]

Ten cents a dance[00:03:04]
