[00:05.94]I work at the Palace Ball
[00:10.86]But gee that palace is cheap
[00:15.02]When I get back to my chilly hallroom
[00:19.76]I'm much too tired to sleep
[00:23.84]I'm one of those lady teachers
[00:28.12]A beautiful hostess you know
[00:32.48]The kind the palace features
[00:36.87]At exactly a dime a throw
[00:42.39]Ten cents a dance
[00:44.76]That's what they pay me
[00:47.15]Gosh how they weigh me down
[00:51.74]Ten cents a dance
[00:54.05]Pansys and rough guys
[00:56.4]Tough guys who tear my gown
[01:00.77]Seven to midnight I hear drums
[01:05.35]Loudly the saxaphone blows
[01:09.82]Trumpets are breaking my eardrums
[01:14.49]Customers crush my toes
[01:19.17]Sometimes I think I've found my hero
[01:23.91]But it's a queer romance
[01:27.979996]All that you need is a ticket
[01:32.69]Come on big boy
[01:35.119995]Ten cents a dance
[01:37.68]Fighters and sailors and bow legged tailors
[01:41.380005]Can pay for a ticket and rent me
[01:45.64]Butchers and barbers and rats from the harbors
[01:49.36]Are sweethearts my good luck has sent me
[01:53.71]Though I've a chorus of elderly beaus
[01:58.16]Stockings are porous with holes in the toes
[02:02.69]I'm there till closing time
[02:07.28]Dance and be merry it's only a dime
[02:12.0]Ten cents a dance
[02:14.23]That's what they pay me
[02:16.79001]Gosh how they weigh me down
[02:21.25]Ten cents a dance
[02:23.61]Pansys and rough guys
[02:26.02]Tough guys who tear my gown
[02:30.59]Seven to midnight I hear drums
[02:35.18]Loudly the saxaphone blows
[02:39.75]Trumpets are breaking my eardrums
[02:44.28]Customers crush my toes
[02:49.22]Sometimes I think I've found my hero
[02:54.15]But it's a queer romance
