[00:01.850] |

[00:14.200] |
Rita was sixteen years |
[00:16.310] |
Hazel eyes and chestnut hair |
[00:18.700] |
|
[00:20.470] |
She made the Woolworth counter shine |
[00:22.560] |
|
[00:26.260] |
And Eddie was a sweet |
[00:27.880] |
Romancer and a darn good dancer |
[00:31.620] |
|
[00:32.970] |
They'd waltz the aisles of the five and dime |
[00:35.740] |
|
[00:42.240] |
Now Eddie played the steel |
[00:43.950] |
Guitar and his mama cried |
[00:46.200] |
Cause he played in the bars |
[00:47.820] |
|
[00:48.830] |
And kept young Rita out late at night |
[00:51.360] |
|
[00:54.430] |
So they married up in Abilene |
[00:56.250] |
|
[00:57.580] |
Lost a child in Tennessee |
[00:59.330] |
|
[01:01.060] |
Oh still that love survived cause they'd sing |
[01:06.890] |
|
[01:07.620] |
Dance a little closer to me |
[01:09.580] |
|
[01:10.760] |
Dance a little closer now |
[01:12.600] |
|
[01:13.950] |
Dance a little closer tonight |
[01:15.850] |
|
[01:20.420] |
Dance a little closer to me |
[01:22.330] |
|
[01:23.890] |
Cause it's closing time |
[01:25.280] |
|
[01:25.870] |
And love's on sale tonight |
[01:27.620] |
|
[01:28.210] |
At this five and dime |
[01:29.560] |
|
[01:32.810] |
One of the boys in Eddie's band |
[01:34.610] |
|
[01:35.690] |
Took a shine to Rita's hands |
[01:37.660] |
|
[01:39.180] |
So Eddie ran off with the bass man's wife |
[01:41.900] |
|
[01:45.630] |
Oh but he was back by |
[01:47.560] |
June singing a different tune |
[01:50.170] |
|
[01:52.000] |
And sporting Miss Rita |
[01:53.310] |
Back by his side and he sang |
[01:57.420] |
|
[01:58.510] |
Dance a little closer to me |
[02:00.490] |
|
[02:01.530] |
Dance a little closer now |
[02:03.470] |
|
[02:04.650] |
Dance a little closer tonight |
[02:06.700] |
|
[02:11.100] |
Dance a little closer to me cause it's closing time |
[02:16.540] |
And love's on sale tonight at this five and dime |
[02:20.250] |
|
[02:23.810] |
Eddie traveled with the barroom |
[02:25.700] |
Bands till arthritis took his hands |
[02:28.380] |
|
[02:30.130] |
Now he sells insurance on the side |
[02:32.220] |
|
[02:36.800] |
And Rita's got a house to keep |
[02:39.060] |
Dime store novels and a love so sweet |
[02:41.890] |
|
[02:42.830] |
They dance to the radio late at night |
[02:45.630] |
|
[02:47.790] |
And they sing |
[02:48.490] |
|
[02:49.440] |
Dance a little closer to me |
[02:51.330] |
|
[02:52.430] |
Dance a little closer now |
[02:54.650] |
|
[02:55.660] |

[03:11.210] |
|
[03:14.870] |
