《Ten Cents a Dance (From ’Simple Simon’)》歌词

[00:00:00] Ten Cents a Dance (From 'Simple Simon') - Ella Fitzgerald (埃拉·菲茨杰拉德)

[00:00:16] I work at the palace ballroom

[00:00:20] But gee that palace is cheap

[00:00:25] When I get back to my chilly hallroom

[00:00:30] I'm much too tired to sleep

[00:00:34] I'm one of those lady teachers

[00:00:39] A beautiful hostess you know

[00:00:44] One that the palace features

[00:00:48] At exactly a dime a throw

[00:00:56] Ten cents a dance

[00:01:01] That's what they pay me

[00:01:04] Gosh how they weigh me down

[00:01:12] Ten cents a dance

[00:01:16] Pansies and rough guys

[00:01:20] Tough guys who tear my gown

[00:01:27] Seven to midnight I hear drums

[00:01:35] Loudly the saxophone blows

[00:01:43] Trumpets are tearing my ear drums

[00:01:51] Customers crush my toes

[00:01:59] Sometimes I think I've found my hero

[00:02:07] But it's a queer romance

[00:02:15] All that you need is a ticket

[00:02:22] Come on big boy

[00:02:26] Ten cents a dance

[00:02:30] Fighters and sailors and bow-legged tailors

[00:02:34] Can pay for their tickets and rent me

[00:02:39] Butchers and barbers and rats from the harbors

[00:02:43] Are sweethearts my good luck has sent me

[00:02:49] Though I've a chorus of elderly bows

[00:02:53] Stockings are porous with holes at the toes

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

[00:03:08] Dance and be merry it's only a dime

[00:03:16] Sometimes I think I've found my hero

[00:03:24] But it's a queer romance

[00:03:31] All that you need is a ticket

[00:03:39] Come on come on big boy

[00:03:43] Ten cents a dance
