| I work at the Palace Ballroom, but |
| Gee that Palace is cheap; |
| When I get back to my chilly hall room |
| I’m much too tired to sleep |
| I’m one of those lady teachers |
| A beautiful hostess, you know |
| The kind the Palace features |
| For only a dime a throw |
| Ten cents a dance |
| That’s 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 eardrums |
| Customers crush my toes |
| Sometime 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 bowlegged tailors |
| Can pay for their 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 beaux |
| Stockings are porous with holes at the toes |
| I’m here till closing time |
| Dance and be merry, it’s only a dime |
| Sometime 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 |
