G Gsus2 C G

G Gsus2
Rita was sixteen years hazel eyes and chestnut hair
C G
She really made the Woolworth counter shine
G Gsus2
Eddie was a sweet romancer and a darn good dancer
C G
They'd waltz the aisles of the five and dime

G Am7
Dance a little closer to me dance a little closer now
G Am7
Dance a little closer tonight
G Am7
Dance a little closer to me 'cause it's closing time
Am7 G
And love's on sale tonight at this five and dime


Eddie played the steel guitar and his mama cried cuz he played in the bars
And kept young Rita out late at night
So they married up in Abilene lost a child in Tennessee
Still that love survived 'cause they'd sing

G Am7
Dance a little closer to me dance a little closer now
G Am7
Dance a little closer tonight
G Am7
Dance a little closer to me 'cause it's closing time
Am7 G
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 singin' a different tune
And sportin' miss Rita back by is 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
Rita's got a house to keep writes dimestore novels of 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 hey it's closing time
And love's on sale tonight at this five and dime

Rita was sixteen years hazel eyes and chestnut hair
She really made the Woolworth counter shine
Eddie was a sweet romancer and a darn good dancer
And they'd waltz the aisles of the five and dime
