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

Written by：Hart Lorenz/Rodgers Richard[00:00:01]

I work at the Palace Ballroom but gee that Palace is cheap[00:00:04]

When I get back to my chilly hall room I'm much too tired to sleep[00:00:13]

I'm one of those lady teachers a beautiful hostess you know[00:00:22]

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

I 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[00:00:50]

Pansies 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 saxophone blows[00:01:03]

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

Customers crush my toes[00:01:13]

Sometimes I think[00:01:17]

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

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

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

Come on big boy ten cents a dance[00:01:31]

Fighters and sailors and bowlegged tailors[00:01:36]

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

Butchers and barbers and rats from the harbors[00:01:44]

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 and the toes[00:01:56]

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[00:02:10]

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

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

Ten cents a dance[00:02:19]

Pansies and rough guys[00:02:21]

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

Seven to midnight I hear drums[00:02:28]

Loudly the saxophone blows[00:02:33]

Trumpets are breaking my eardrums[00:02:37]

Customers crush my toes[00:02:42]

Sometimes I think[00:02:46]

I've found my hero[00:02:49]

But it's a queer romance[00:02:51]

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

Come on big boy ten cents a dance[00:03:01]
