letra de ten cents a dance - ella fitzgerald
i work at the palace ballroom
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
one that 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
pansies and rough guys
tough guys who tear my gown
seven to midnight i hear drums
loudly the saxophone blows
trumpets are tearing my ear drums
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
can pay for their tickets 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 bows
stockings are porous with holes at the toes
i’m here till closing time
dance and be merry, it’s only a dime
sometimes i think, i’ve found my hero
but it’s a queer romance
all that you need is a ticket
come on, come on big boy
ten cents a dance
