TitleTen Cents A Dance
ArtistRuth Etting lyrics

[Words by Lorenz Hart][Music by Richard Rodgers]Ten cents a dance That's what they pay meGosh, how they weigh me downTen cents a dance Pansies and rough guysTough guys who tear my gownSeven to midnight I hear drumsLoudly the saxophone blowsTrumpets are tearing my eardrumsCustomers crush my toesSometimes I think I've found my heroBut it's a queer romanceAll that you need is a ticketCome on, big boy, ten cents a dancePeaked at #5 Transcribed by Robin Hood
