Love At The Five And Dime

	  		
 
  
A                       Asus2  
Rita was sixteen years, hazel eyes and chestnut hair.  
D                              A  
She made the Woolworth counter shine.  
A                              Asu2  
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 'cause 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 hand, 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 bar room 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, And they dance to the radio late at night. Chorus Repeat 1st verse, then They'd waltz the aisles of the five and dime, They'd waltz the aisles of the five and dime.
