《Ten Cents a Dance》歌词

[00:00:00] Ten Cents a Dance - Ruth Etting/Sophie Tucker

[00:00:05] I work at the Palace Ball

[00:00:10] But gee that palace is cheap

[00:00:14] When I get back to my chilly hallroom

[00:00:19] I'm much too tired to sleep

[00:00:23] I'm one of those lady teachers

[00:00:28] A beautiful hostess you know

[00:00:32] The kind the palace features

[00:00:37] At exactly a dime a throw

[00:00:42] Ten cents a dance

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

[00:00:47] Gosh how they weigh me down

[00:00:52] Ten cents a dance

[00:00:54] Pansys and rough guys

[00:00:56] Tough guys who tear my gown

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

[00:01:06] Loudly the saxaphone blows

[00:01:10] Trumpets are breaking my eardrums

[00:01:15] Customers crush my toes

[00:01:20] Sometimes I think I've found my hero

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

[00:01:29] All that you need is a ticket

[00:01:33] Come on big boy

[00:01:36] Ten cents a dance

[00:01:39] Fighters and sailors and bow-legged tailors

[00:01:42] Can pay for a ticket and rent me

[00:01:47] Butchers and barbers and rats from the harbors

[00:01:51] Are sweethearts my good luck has sent me

[00:01:55] Though I've a chorus of elderly beaus

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

[00:02:04] I'm there till closing time

[00:02:09] Dance and be merry it's only a dime

[00:02:13] Ten cents a dance

[00:02:16] That's what they pay me

[00:02:18] Gosh how they weigh me down

[00:02:23] Ten cents a dance

[00:02:25] Pansys and rough guys

[00:02:27] Tough guys who tear my gown

[00:02:32] Seven to midnight I hear drums

[00:02:37] Loudly the saxaphone blows

[00:02:41] Trumpets are breaking my eardrums

[00:02:46] Customers crush my toes

[00:02:51] Sometimes I think I've found my hero

[00:02:56] But it's a queer romance

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

[00:03:06] Come on big boy

[00:03:09] Ten cents a dance
