Ten Cents a Dance (From 'Simple Simon') - Ella Fitzgerald (埃拉·菲茨杰拉德)[00:00:00]

I work at the palace ballroom[00:00:16]

But gee that palace is cheap[00:00:20]

When I get back to my chilly hallroom[00:00:25]

I'm much too tired to sleep[00:00:30]

I'm one of those lady teachers[00:00:34]

A beautiful hostess you know[00:00:39]

One that the palace features[00:00:44]

At exactly a dime a throw[00:00:48]

Ten cents a dance[00:00:56]

That's what they pay me[00:01:01]

Gosh how they weigh me down[00:01:04]

Ten cents a dance[00:01:12]

Pansies and rough guys[00:01:16]

Tough guys who tear my gown[00:01:20]

Seven to midnight I hear drums[00:01:27]

Loudly the saxophone blows[00:01:35]

Trumpets are tearing my ear drums[00:01:43]

Customers crush my toes[00:01:51]

Sometimes I think I've found my hero[00:01:59]

But it's a queer romance[00:02:07]

All that you need is a ticket[00:02:15]

Come on big boy[00:02:22]

Ten cents a dance[00:02:26]

Fighters and sailors and bow-legged tailors[00:02:30]

Can pay for their tickets and rent me[00:02:34]

Butchers and barbers and rats from the harbors[00:02:39]

Are sweethearts my good luck has sent me[00:02:43]

Though I've a chorus of elderly bows[00:02:49]

Stockings are porous with holes at the toes[00:02:53]

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

Dance and be merry it's only a dime[00:03:08]

Sometimes I think I've found my hero[00:03:16]

But it's a queer romance[00:03:24]

All that you need is a ticket[00:03:31]

Come on come on big boy[00:03:39]

Ten cents a dance[00:03:43]
