lirik lagu ten cents a dance – shirley horn
[verse 1]
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
[verse 2]
seven to midnight i hear drums
loudly the saxophone blows
trumpets are tearing my eardrums
customers crush my toes
[verse 3]
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
[verse 4]
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
[verse 5]
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
[verse 6]
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
[outro]
come on
come on, come on
come on
come on, big boy, ten cents a dance
