[Verse 1]
G D/G Rita was sixteen years, hazel eyes and chestnut hair C/G G She made the Woolworth counter shine G D/G And Eddie was a sweet romancer and darn good dancer C/G G And they'd waltz the aisles of the five and dime
And they'd sing
[Chorus]
Bm7 Dance a little closer to me Am7 Dance a little closer now Bm7 Am7 Dance a little closer tonight Bm7 Dance a little closer to me Am7 D G cause it's closing time and love's on sale tonight at this five and dime.
[Verse 2]
G D/G Eddie played the steel guitar and his momma cried 'cause he played in the bars C/G G And he kept young Rita out late at night G D/G So they married up in Abilene, lost a child in Tennessee C/G G But still, that love survived
'Cause they'd sing
[Chorus]
Bm7 Dance a little closer to me Am7 Dance a little closer now Bm7 Am7 Dance a little closer tonight Bm7 Dance a little closer to me Am7 D G cause it's closing time and love's on sale tonight at this five and dime.
[Verse 3]
G D/G One of the boys in Eddie's band took a shine to Rita's hand C/G G So Eddie ran off with the bass man's wife G D/G Oh, but he was back by June singing a different tune C/G G And sporting Miss Rita back by his side
And he'd sing
[Chorus]
Bm7 Dance a little closer to me Am7 Dance a little closer now Bm7 Am7 Dance a little closer tonight Bm7 Dance a little closer to me Am7 D G cause it's closing time and love's on sale tonight at this five and dime.
[Verse 4]
G D/G Eddie traveled with the bar room band till arthritis took his hands C/G G Now he sells insurance on the side G D/G And Rita's got her house to keep; dime store novels of love so sweet C/G G They dance to the radio late at night
And still sing
[Chorus]
Bm7 Dance a little closer to me Am7 Dance a little closer now Bm7 Am7 Dance a little closer tonight G Dance a little closer to me Am7 D G cause it's closing time and love's on sale tonight at this five and dime.
