Abstract

At 10:30 p.m., after all the table servers finished work, we set off and walked all the way to Free Port Karaoke Bar to celebrate waiter Ah Kui’s birthday. Ah Kui suggested that we could go to Holiday (a pricier karaoke bar with better equipment) after payday on the 10th, with everyone contributing 50 yuan. Everyone agreed.
Step by step
I’m going in the wrong direction
Making a living out of being a dancing girl
A dancing girl is also a human
To whom shall I tell my sorrow
In order to earn a living
I swallow the tears
Is it really my destiny to live my whole life in the dancing club
Accompanying the customers, hugging and cuddling
My dignity has been soaked in wine
tango, cha cha, rumba and rock & roll every night
Do I deserve it as a dancing girl?
Lyrics ‘Tears of a Dancing Girl’ by Junmin Lin
