I work at the Palace Ballroom,
But, gee, that Palace is cheap;
When I get back to my chilly hall room
I'm much to tired to sleep.

I'm one of those lady teachers,
A beautiful hostess, you know.
One that the palace features
For 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 eardrums.
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.
