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

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

[00:00:05] I work at the palace ballroom

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

[00:00:14] 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] One that the palace features

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

[00:00:41] Ten cents a dance

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

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

[00:00:51] Ten cents a dance

[00:00:53] Pansies 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 saxophone blows

[00:01:09] Trumpets are breaking my ear drums

[00:01:14] Customers crush my toes

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

[00:01:24] But it's a queer romance

[00:01:28] 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 their tickets 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

[00:01:54] Though I've a chorus of elderly bows

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

[00:02:03] I'm here 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

[00:02:17] Gosh how they weigh me down

[00:02:21] Ten cents a dance

[00:02:24] Pansies and rough guys

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

[00:02:31] Seven to midnight I hear drums

[00:02:35] Loudly the saxophone blows

[00:02:40] Trumpets are breaking my ear drums

[00:02:45] Customers crush my toes

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

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

[00:02:59] All that you need is a ticket

[00:03:04] Come on big boy

[00:03:07] Ten cents a dance
