Rita was sixteen years, hazel eyes and chestnut hair.
She made the Woolworth counter shine.
And Eddie was a sweet romancer and 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 the steel guitar and his momma cried ’cause he played in the bars.
And he 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 singing 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 band till arthritis took his hands.
Now he sells insurance on the side.
And Rita’s got her house to keep; she writes dime store novels of love so sweet.
They dance to the radio late at night.
And still 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.

Rita was sixteen years, hazel eyes and chestnut hair.
She made the Woolworth counter shine.
And Eddie was a sweet romancer and 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.
