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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:35] I exactly a dime a throw

[00:00:40] Ten cents a dance

[00:00:43] That's what they pay me

[00:00:45] Gosh how they weigh me down

[00:00:50] Ten cents a dance

[00:00:52] Pansies and rough guys

[00:00:55] Tough guys who tear my gown

[00:00:59] Seven to midnight I hear drums

[00:01:03] Loudly the saxophone blows

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

[00:01:13] Customers crush my toes

[00:01:17] Sometimes I think

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:47] Are sweethearts my good luck has sent me

[00:01:51] Though I've a chorus of elderly beaux

[00:01:56] Stockings are porous with holes and the toes

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

[00:02:05] Dance and be merry it's only a dime

[00:02:10] Ten cents a dance

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

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

[00:02:19] Ten cents a dance

[00:02:21] Pansies and rough guys

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

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

[00:02:33] Loudly the saxophone blows

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

[00:02:42] Customers crush my toes

[00:02:46] Sometimes I think

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

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

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

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