Ten Cents a Dance - Ruth Etting/Steuart Bedford[00:00:00]

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

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[00:00:14]

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[00:00:37]

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[00:00:52]

Pansys and rough guys[00:00:54]

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

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

Loudly the saxaphone blows[00:01:06]

Trumpets are breaking my eardrums[00:01:10]

Customers crush my toes[00:01:15]

Sometimes I think I've found my hero[00:01:20]

But it's a queer romance[00:01:24]

All that you need is a ticket[00:01:29]

Come on big boy[00:01:33]

Ten cents a dance[00:01:36]

Fighters and sailors and bow-legged tailors[00:01:39]

Can pay for a ticket and rent me[00:01:42]

Butchers and barbers and rats from the harbors[00:01:47]

Are sweethearts my good luck has sent me[00:01:51]

Though I've a chorus of elderly beaus [00:01:55]

Stockings are porous with holes in the toes[00:02:00]

I'm there till closing time[00:02:04]

Dance and be merry it's only a dime[00:02:09]

Ten cents a dance[00:02:13]

That's what they pay me[00:02:16]

Gosh how they weigh me down[00:02:18]

Ten cents a dance[00:02:23]

Pansys and rough guys[00:02:25]

Tough guys who tear my gown[00:02:27]

Seven to midnight I hear drums[00:02:32]

Loudly the saxaphone blows[00:02:37]

Trumpets are breaking my eardrums[00:02:41]

Customers crush my toes[00:02:46]

Sometimes I think I've found my hero[00:02:51]

But it's a queer romance[00:02:56]

All that you need is a ticket[00:03:00]

Come on big boy[00:03:06]

Ten cents a dance[00:03:09]
