《Ten Cents A Dance》歌词

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

[00:00:00] Written by：Rogers/Hart/Richard Rodgers

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

[00:00:19] Gee that palace is cheap

[00:00:23] When I get back to my chilly hall room

[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] When the palace features

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

[00:00:55] Ten cents a dance

[00:00:59] That's what they pay me

[00:01:02] Gosh how they weigh me down

[00:01:10] Ten cents a dance

[00:01:15] Pansies and rough guys

[00:01:18] 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] Sometime I think

[00:02:02] 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 sailors and bowlegged tailors

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

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

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

[00:02:47] Though I've a chorus of elderly beaux

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

[00:02:57] I'm here till closing time

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

[00:03:15] Sometime I think

[00:03:19] I've found my hero

[00:03:22] But it's a queer romance

[00:03:29] All that you need is a ticket

[00:03:37] Come on come on big boy ten cents a dance
