[00:04.86]I work at the Palace Ball
[00:09.81]But gee that palace is cheap
[00:13.82]When I get back to my chilly hallroom
[00:18.59]I'm much too tired to sleep
[00:22.57]I'm one of those lady teachers
[00:27.01]A beautiful hostess you know
[00:31.21]The kind the palace features
[00:35.7]At exactly a dime a throw
[00:41.14]Ten cents a dance
[00:43.56]That's what they pay me
[00:46.03]Gosh how they weigh me down
[00:50.46]Ten cents a dance
[00:52.89]Pansys and rough guys
[00:55.21]Tough guys who tear my gown
[00:59.59]Seven to midnight I hear drums
[01:04.04]Loudly the saxaphone blows
[01:08.5]Trumpets are breaking my eardrums
[01:13.19]Customers crush my toes
[01:17.7]Sometimes I think I've found my hero
[01:22.68]But it's a queer romance
[01:26.66]All that you need is a ticket
[01:31.41]Come on big boy
[01:33.729996]Ten cents a dance
[01:36.44]Fighters and sailors
[01:38.22]And bow-legged tailors
[01:40.14]Can pay for a ticket and rent me
[01:44.46]Butchers and barbers
[01:46.06]And rats from the harbors
[01:48.130005]Are sweethearts my good luck
[01:50.08]Has sent me
[01:52.55]Though I've a chorus of elderly beaus
[01:56.78]Stockings are porous
[01:59.020004]With holes in the toes
[02:01.41]I'm there till closing time
[02:05.97]Dance and be merry
[02:08.12]It's only a dime
[02:10.64]Ten cents a dance
[02:12.91]That's what they pay me
[02:15.4]Gosh how they weigh me down
[02:19.92]Ten cents a dance
[02:22.23]Pansys and rough guys
[02:24.62]Tough guys who tear my gown
[02:29.1]Seven to midnight I hear drums
[02:33.82]Loudly the saxaphone blows
[02:38.55]Trumpets are breaking my eardrums
[02:43.02]Customers crush my toes
[02:47.88]Sometimes I think I've found my hero
[02:52.75]But it's a queer romance
[02:56.93]All that you need is a ticket
[03:01.95]Come on big boy
