Shirley Horn – Ten Cents a Dance Lyrics
Artist: Shirley Horn
Song: 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
JID “Dance Now’ Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verified
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 bowlegged tailors
Can pay for a ticket and rent me
Butchers and barbers and rats from thе harbours
Are sweethearts my good luck has sent mе
Though I’ve a chorus of elderly beaus
Stockings are porous with holes at the toes
I’m here till closing time
Dance and be merry, it’s only a dim
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
Come on
Come on, come on
Come on
Come on, big boy, ten cents a dance
