A                       A9 
Rita was sixteen years, hazel eyes and chestnut hair 
D                              A 
She made the Woolworth counter shine 
A                              A9 
And Eddie was a sweet romancer and a darn good dancer 
    D                                       A 
And they'd waltz the aisles of the 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 

Oh but still that love survived 
             A                                D 
Cause they'd sing, Dance a little closer to me 
D                       A 
Dance a little closer now 
A                        Bm     E 
Dance a little closer tonight 
A                        Bm  
Dance a little closer to me cause it's closing time 
    D                 E                     A  
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 his side 
 
Chorus - "He sang" 
 
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, dimestore novels and a love so sweet 
They dance to the radio late at night 
 
Chorus 
 
Repeat 1st verse 
 
They'd waltz the aisles of the five and dime 
They'd waltz the aisles of the five and dime
