[Bb]
[Eb] One of my greatest fascinations in life has always [Bb] been a little store where you can go
in and get a vanilla coke, listen to the popcorn machine go pop, pop, pop, and dig [Eb] through
a record bin and find a record for [Bb] 69 cents that you always wanted all your life.
When I was in high school, the only way you could get [Eb] from North Austin to South Austin
on the bus was to get off the bus in Central Austin and get on another bus.
And where you changed the bus at 6th and [Eb] Congress was a place called the Woolworth's Store.
[Bb]
And I always had just enough time to run into the Woolworth's Store and get myself a vanilla
coke, dig through the record [Eb] bin, wink at the boys, and get back on the bus.
[Bb]
And Woolworth's Stores are the same everywhere in the world.
[Eb] They have this wonderful smell to them.
They smell like [Bb] popcorn and chewing gum rubbed around on the bottom of a leather sole shoe.
And the first time we went to Europe, we landed in London and we were driving through central
London and we came around a corner and by golly, there was a Woolworth's Store.
And I wanted them to stop the car and let me out so I could go fill up my suitcase with
unnecessary [Eb] plastic objects.
[Bb]
And if you've ever been in a big Woolworth's Store, where there's an elevator, [Bb] or a lift
as they say in Europe, every time the doors open on the elevator, they make a little noise like this.
[Eb] And [Bb] I've often been asked what that little noise was.
And that's what it is.
It's the elevator doors.
[Eb] [Bb]
Rita was sixteen years, hazel eyes and just snot hair.
[Eb] She made the Woolworth counter [Bb] shine.
And Eddie was a sweet romancer, and a darn good dancer.
[Eb] And they'd waltz the aisles of the five [Bb] and nine.
And they'd sing, dance a little closer [Cm] to me.
Dance a little closer [Bb] now.
Dance a little closer [F] than I.
[Bb] Dance a little closer than he.
[F] Hey it's [Cm] closing time and love's on the sale tonight at this [Bb] five and nine.
Eddie played the steel guitar and his mama cried cause he played in the bars.
[Eb] And he kept young Rita out [Bb] late at night.
So they married up in Abilene.
Lost a child in Tennessee.
[Eb] And still that [Bb] love survived.
Cause they'd sing, dance a little closer to [C] me.
Dance a little closer [Bb] now.
Dance a little closer than I.
[Cm] [Bb]
Dance a little closer than [F] he.
Hey it's closing time and love's on the sale tonight at [Bb] this five and nine.
One of the boys in Eddie's band took the shine to Rita's end.
[Eb] So Eddie ran off with [Bb] her base man's wife.
Oh but he was back by June.
Singing a different [Eb] tune.
Working with Rita [Bb] back by his side.
And he'd sing, dance a little closer to me.
Dance a little closer now.
Dance a little closer than [F] I.
[Bb]
Dance a little closer [C] than he.
[G] Hey it's closing [F] time and love's on the sale tonight at this [Bb] five and nine.
[Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] [Bb]
Eddie traveled with the barroom man.
Till arthritis took his hands.
[Eb] Now he sells insurance on [Bb] the side.
And Rita's got her house to keep.
She writes dime store novels of a love so sweet.
[Eb] They dance to the radio [Bb] late at night.
And still sing, dance a little closer [F] to me.
Dance a [Cm] little closer [Bb] now.
Dance a little closer than [F] I.
[Bb]
Dance a little closer than he.
Hey it's closing time and love's on the sale tonight at [Bb] this five and nine.
Cause Rita was sixteen years.
Hazel eyes and just not [Eb] hair.
She really made the whole [Bb] world count her shine.
And Eddie was a sweet romancer.
And a darn good [Eb] dancer.
And it was the aisles [Bb] of the five and nine when they lived on Manny.
Simple like I [Eb] said.
It was the aisles of the five and nine.
We could all go tomorrow and take a [Eb] date and we all.
It was the [Bb] aisles of the five and nine.
Going up.
