Advance Base - Love at the Five & Dime 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
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 thе steel guitar
And his mama cried 'cause he playеd in 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
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
Singin' a different tune
And sportin' 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
'Til 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

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

'Cause Rita was sixteen years
With 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
And they'd waltz the aisles of
The five and dime
And they'd waltz the aisles of
The five and dime
