Ten Cents a Dance

Abbey Lincoln

$(document).ready(function(e) {
$(“.protected”).disableSelection();
});
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!

“Ten Cents a Dance” as written by Lorenz Hart, Richard Rodgers
