Lyrics
Rita was sixteen years, hazel eyes and chestnut hair She made the Woolworth counter shine And Eddie was a sweet romancer And a darn good dancer And they'd waltz the aisles of the five and dime And they'd sing Dance a little closer to me Dance a little closer now Dance a little closer tonight Dance a little closer to me 'Cause it's closing time and love's on sale tonight at this five and dime Eddie played thе steel guitar and his mama cried 'cause he playеd in the bars And kept young Rita out late at night So they married up in Abilene Lost a child in Tennessee But still that love survived 'Cause they'd sing Dance a little closer to me Dance a little closer now Dance a little closer tonight Dance a little closer to me 'Cause it's closing time and love's on sale tonight at this five and dime One of the boys in Eddie's band Took a shine to Rita's hand So Eddie ran off with the bass man's wife Oh, but he was back by June singin' a different tune And sporting Miss Rita back by his side And he'd sing Dance a little closer to me Dance a little closer now Dance a little closer tonight Dance a little closer to me 'Cause it's closing time and love's on sale tonight at this five and dime Eddie traveled with the bar room bands 'Ril arthritis took his hands Now he sells insurance on the side And Rita's got her house to keep Dime store novels and a love so sweet They dance to the radio late at night And they sing Dance a little closer to me Dance a little closer now Dance a little closer tonight Dance a little closer to me 'Cause it's closing time and love's on sale tonight at this five and dime 'Cause Rita was sixteen years, hazel eyes and chestnut hair She really made the Woolworth counter shine And Eddie was a sweet romancer And a darn good dancer And they'd waltz the aisles of the five and dime And they'd waltz the aisles of the five and dime And they'd waltz the aisles of the five and dime
