I work at the Palace Ballroom, but,gee that Palace is cheap;When I get back to my chilly hall roomI'm much too tired to sleep.I'm one of those lady teachers,a beautiful hostess, you know,the kind the Palace featuresfor only a dime a throw.Ten cents a dancethat's what they pay me,gosh, how they weigh me down!Ten cents a dancepansies 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 thinkI'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 tailorscan pay for their ticket and rent me!Butchers and barbers and rats from the harborsare 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 thinkI'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.
