Ten Cents A Dance(Ella Fitzgerald Sings The Rodgers And Hart songbook) - Ella Fitzgerald

[00:14.48]I work at the Palace ballroom but gee that palace is cheap
[00:23.51]When I get back to my chilly hall room I'm much too tired to sleep
[00:33.47]I'm one of those lady teachers a beautiful hostess you know
[00:42.58]One that the palace features at exactly a dime a throw
[00:55.04]Ten cents a dance that's what they pay me
[01:04.709]Gosh how they weigh me down
[01:10.74]Ten cents a dance pansies and rough guys tough guys who tear my gown
[01:26.38]Seven to midnight I hear drums loudly the saxophone blows
[01:42.020004]Trumpets are tearing my ear-drums customers crush my toes
[01:57.7]Sometimes I think I've found my hero
[02:06.44]But it's a queer romance
[02:13.49]All that you need is a ticket
[02:21.58]Come on big boy ten cents a dance
[02:29.48]Fighters and sailers and bow-legged tailors
[02:33.34]Can pay for their ticketsrent me
[02:38.33]Butchers and barbers and rats from the harbor
[02:42.24]Are sweethearts my good luck has sent me
[02:47.85]Thought I've a chorus of elderly bows
[02:52.5]Stockings are porous with holes at the toes
[02:58.47]I'm here till closing time
[03:06.5]Dance and be merry it's only a dime
[03:14.96]Sometimes I think I've found my hero
[03:26.26]But it's a queer romance
