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 They'd waltz the aisles of the five and dime Now Eddie played the steel guitar and his mama cried 'Cause he played in the bars and kept young Rita out late at night So they married up in Abilene, lost a child in Tennessee Oh, 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 hands So Eddie ran off with the bass man's wife Oh, but he was back by June singing a different tune And sporting Miss Rita back by his side and he sang 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 barroom bands till arthritis took his hands Now he sells insurance on the side And Rita's got a 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 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
