[00:00:00] Ten Cents A Dance - Ruth Etting/Harry Tobias

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

[00:00:04] I work at the Palace Ball

[00:00:09] But gee that palace is cheap

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

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

[00:00:22] I'm one of those lady teachers

[00:00:27] A beautiful hostess you know

[00:00:31] The kind the palace features

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

[00:00:41] Ten cents a dance

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

[00:00:46] Gosh how they weigh me down

[00:00:50] Ten cents a dance

[00:00:52] Pansys and rough guys

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

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

[00:01:04] Loudly the saxaphone blows

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

[00:01:13] Customers crush my toes

[00:01:17] Sometimes I think 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

[00:01:33] Ten cents a dance

[00:01:36] Fighters and sailors

[00:01:38] And bow-legged tailors

[00:01:40] Can pay for a ticket and rent me

[00:01:44] Butchers and barbers

[00:01:46] And rats from the harbors

[00:01:48] Are sweethearts my good luck

[00:01:50] Has sent me

[00:01:52] Though I've a chorus of elderly beaus

[00:01:56] Stockings are porous

[00:01:59] With holes in the toes

[00:02:01] I'm there till closing time

[00:02:05] Dance and be merry

[00:02:08] It's only a dime

[00:02:10] Ten cents a dance

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

[00:02:15] Gosh how they weigh me down

[00:02:19] Ten cents a dance

[00:02:22] Pansys and rough guys

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

[00:02:29] Seven to midnight I hear drums

[00:02:33] Loudly the saxaphone blows

[00:02:38] Trumpets are breaking my eardrums

[00:02:43] Customers crush my toes

[00:02:47] Sometimes I think I've found my hero

[00:02:52] But it's a queer romance

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

[00:03:01] Come on big boy

[00:03:04] Ten cents a dance
