Ten Cents a Dance


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.


Lyrics by Lorenz Hart

  4. A pansy once ripped my gown thinking he could fit his huge ass INTO it!

    I told him, "You're no size 6, girl!"
