《Ten Cents a Dance》歌词

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

[00:00:14] I work at the palace ballroom

[00:00:19] But gee that palace is cheap

[00:00:23] When I get back to my chillly hallroom

[00:00:28] I'm much too tired to sleep

[00:00:33] I'm one of those lady teachers

[00:00:38] A beautiful hostess you know;

[00:00:42] One that the palace features

[00:00:47] At exactly a dime a throw

[00:00:55] Ten cents a dance that's what they pay me

[00:01:03] Gosh how they weigh me down

[00:01:11] Ten cents a dance pansies and rough guys

[00:01:19] Tough guys who tear my gown

[00:01:26] Seven to midnight I hear drums

[00:01:34] Loudly the saxophone blows

[00:01:42] Trumpets are tearing my eardrums

[00:01:50] Customers crush my toes

[00:01:58] Sometimes I think I've found my hero

[00:02:06] But it's a queer romance;

[00:02:13] All that you need is a ticket

[00:02:21] Come on big boy ten cents a dance

[00:02:29] Fighters and sailers and bowlegged tailors

[00:02:33] Can pay for their tickets rent me

[00:02:38] Butchers and barbers and rats from the harbour

[00:02:42] Are sweethearts my good luck has sent me

[00:02:48] Thought I've a chorus of elderly bows

[00:02:52] Stockings are porous with holes at the toes

[00:02:58] I'm here till closing time

[00:03:06] Dance and be merry it's only a dime

[00:03:15] Sometimes I think I've found my hero

[00:03:23] But it's a queer romance;

[00:03:30] All that you need is a ticket

[00:03:38] Come on come on big boy ten cents a dance
