[Verse 1: Aaron Watson]
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
[Verse 2: Aaron Watson]
Now Eddie played the steel guitar
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, and still that love survived
'Cause they'd sing
[Chorus: Aaron Watson & Jamie Lin Wilson]
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
[Verse 3: Jamie Lin Wilson]
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
He was singin' a different tune
Sporting Miss Rita back by his side
And they'd sing
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
[Verse 2: Aaron Watson]
Now Eddie played the steel guitar
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, and still that love survived
'Cause they'd sing
[Chorus: Aaron Watson & Jamie Lin Wilson]
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
[Verse 3: Jamie Lin Wilson]
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
