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

[00:00:02] Written by：R. Rodgers/L. Hart

[00:00:04] I work at the palace ballroom but

[00:00:09] Gee that palace is cheap

[00:00:13] When I get back to my chilly hall room

[00:00:18] I'm much too tired to sleep

[00:00:21] I'm one of those lady teacher

[00:00:26] A beautiful hostess you know

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

[00:00:35] At 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

[00:00:49] Ten cents a dance

[00:00:52] Pansies and rough guys

[00:00:54] 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 traking my eardrums

[00:01:12] Customers crush my toes

[00:01:17] Sometime I think

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

[00:01:21] But it's a queer romance

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

[00:01:30] Come on big boy ten cents a dance

[00:01:36] Fighters sailors bowlegged tailors

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

[00:01:43] 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

[00:01:55] Stockings are porous with holes at the toes

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

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

[00:02:09] Ten cents a dance that's what they pay me

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

[00:02:18] Ten cents a dance pansies and rough guys

[00:02:23] Tough guys who tear my gown

[00:02:27] Seven to midnight I hear drums

[00:02:32] Loudly the saxophone blows

[00:02:36] Trumpets are traking my ear drums

[00:02:41] Customers crush my toes

[00:02:46] Sometime I think

[00:02:48] I've found my hero

[00:02:50] But it's a queer romance

[00:02:54] All that you need is a ticket

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