Ten Cents a Dance [Simple Simon]
Ruth Etting

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!

  A Cottage for Sale   A Message from the Man in the Moon   A Needle in a Haystack   Back in Your Own Back Yard   Back in Your Own Backyard   Body and Soul   Button up Your Overcoat   Cuban Love Song   Goodnight My Love   Goodnight, Sweetheart   Guilty   Hello Baby!   Hold Me   It Happened in Monterey   Laughing at Life   Love Me or Leave Me   Mean to Me   More Than You Know   Ramona   Riptide   Stay as Sweet as You Are   Ten Cents a Dance   Ten Cents a Dance [From Simple Simon]   The Song Is Ended, But the Melody Lingers On   Try a Little Tenderness
