Ten Cents a Day |
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 |
