I work at the Palace Ball, But gee, that palace is cheap. When I get back to my chilly hallroom I'm much too tired to sleep. I'm one of those lady teachers, A beautiful hostess you know, The kind the palace features At exactly a dime a throw. Ten cents a dance, That's what they pay me. Gosh how they weigh me down. Ten cents a dance, Pansys and rough guys Tough guys who tear my gown. Seven to midnight I hear drums, Loudly the saxaphone blows, Trumpets are breaking my eardrums! Customers crush my toes. Sometimes I think I've found my hero But it's a queer romance. All that you need is a ticket! Come on big boy, Ten cents a dance. Fighters and sailors and bow-legged tailors Letras de cancionesCan pay for a ticket and rent me. Butchers and barbers and rats from the harbors Are sweethearts my good luck has sent me. Though I've a chorus of elderly beaus, Stockings are porous with holes in the toes. I'm there till closing time. Dance and be merry, it's only a dime! Ten cents a dance, That's what they pay me. Gosh how they weigh me down. Ten cents a dance, Pansys and rough guys Tough guys who tear my gown. Seven to midnight I hear drums, Loudly the saxaphone blows, Trumpets are breaking my eardrums! Customers crush my toes. Sometimes I think I've found my hero But it's a queer romance. All that you need is a ticket! Come on big boy, Ten cents a dance. From Letras Mania
