[00:00:01] Ten Cents a Dance - Ruth Etting

[00:00:02] Written by：Ruth Etting

[00:00:05] I work at the Palace Ball

[00:00:10] But gee that palace is cheap

[00:00:15] When I get back to my chilly hallroom

[00:00:19] I'm much too tired to sleep

[00:00:23] I'm one of those lady teachers

[00:00:28] A beautiful hostess you know

[00:00:32] The kind the palace features

[00:00:36] At exactly a dime a throw

[00:00:42] Ten cents a dance

[00:00:44] That's what they pay me

[00:00:47] Gosh how they weigh me down

[00:00:51] Ten cents a dance

[00:00:54] Pansys and rough guys

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

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

[00:01:05] Loudly the saxaphone blows

[00:01:09] Trumpets are breaking my eardrums

[00:01:14] Customers crush my toes

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

[00:01:23] But it's a queer romance

[00:01:27] All that you need is a ticket

[00:01:32] Come on big boy

[00:01:35] Ten cents a dance

[00:01:37] Fighters and sailors and bow legged tailors

[00:01:41] Can pay for a ticket and rent me

[00:01:45] Butchers and barbers and rats from the harbors

[00:01:49] Are sweethearts my good luck has sent me

[00:01:53] Though I've a chorus of elderly beaus

[00:01:58] Stockings are porous with holes in the toes

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

[00:02:07] Dance and be merry it's only a dime

[00:02:12] Ten cents a dance

[00:02:14] That's what they pay me

[00:02:16] Gosh how they weigh me down

[00:02:21] Ten cents a dance

[00:02:23] Pansys and rough guys

[00:02:26] Tough guys who tear my gown

[00:02:30] Seven to midnight I hear drums

[00:02:35] Loudly the saxaphone blows

[00:02:39] Trumpets are breaking my eardrums

[00:02:44] Customers crush my toes

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

[00:02:54] But it's a queer romance

[00:02:58] All that you need is a ticket

[00:03:03] Come on big boy

[00:03:06] Ten cents a dance
