Ten Cents A Dance 歌詞
Ten Cents a Dance - Ella Fitzgerald
I work at the palace ballroom
But gee that palace is cheap
When I get back to my chillly hallroom
Im much too tired to sleep
Im one of those lady teachers
A beautiful hostess you know;
One that the palace features
At exactly a dime a throw
Ten cents a dance
Thats what they pay me
Gosh how they weigh me down
Ten cents a dance pansies and rough guys
Tough guys who tear my gown
Seven to midnight I hear drums
Loudly the saxophone blows
Trumpets are tearing my ear-drums
Customers crush my toes
Sometimes I think Ive found my hero
But its a queer romance;
All that you need is a ticket
Come on big boy ten cents a dance
Fighters and sailers and bow-legged tailors
Can pay for their tickets & rent me
Butchers and barbers and rats from the harbour
Are sweethearts my good luck has sent me
Thought Ive a chorus of elderly bows
Stockings are porous with holes at the toes
Im here till closing time
Dance and be merry its only a dime
Sometimes I think
Ive found my hero
But its a queer romance;
All that you need is a ticket
Come on come on big boy
Ten cents a dance
