《Ten Cents a Dance》歌词

[00:00:00] Ten Cents A Dance - Maggie Preece

[00:00:12] I work at the Palace ballroom

[00:00:16] But gee that palace is cheap

[00:00:20] When I get back to my chillly hallroom

[00:00:23] I'm much too tired to sleep

[00:00:27] I'm one of those lady teachers

[00:00:31] A beautiful hostess you know

[00:00:35] One that the palace features at exactly a dime a throw

[00:00:48] Ten cents a dance that's what they pay me

[00:00:53] Gosh how they weigh me down

[00:00:58] Ten cents a dance pansies and rough guys

[00:01:04] Tough guys who tear my gown

[00:01:09] Seven to midnight I hear drums loudly the saxophone blows

[00:01:20] Trumpets are tearing my ear-drums customers crush my toes

[00:01:32] Sometimes I think I've found my hero

[00:01:37] But it's a queer romance

[00:01:42] All that you need is a ticket

[00:01:47] Come on big boy ten cents a dance

[00:01:55] Fighters and sailers and bow-legged tailors

[00:01:58] Can pay for their tickets and rent me

[00:02:02] Butchers and barbers and rats from the harbours

[00:02:05] Are sweethearts my good luck has sent me

[00:02:09] Thought I've a chorus of elderly bows

[00:02:13] Stockings are porous with holes at the toes

[00:02:17] I'm here till closing time

[00:02:20] Dance and be merry it's only a dime

[00:02:28] Sometimes I think I've found my hero

[00:02:33] But it's a queer romance

[00:02:39] All that you need is a ticket

[00:02:44] Come on big boy ten cents a dance

[00:02:51] Fighters and sailers and bow-legged tailors

[00:02:53] Can pay for their tickets and rent me

[00:02:56] Butchers and barbers and rats from the harbours

[00:02:59] Are sweethearts my good luck has sent me

[00:03:02] Thought I've a chorus of elderly bows

[00:03:05] Stockings are porous with holes at the toes

[00:03:09] I'm here till closing time

[00:03:12] Dance and be merry it's only a dime

[00:03:20] Sometimes I think I've found my hero

[00:03:26] But it's a queer romance

[00:03:32] All that you need is a ticket

[00:03:39] Come on big boy ten cents a dance
