[Eb] One of my greatest fascinations in life has always [Bb] been a little store where you can go
vanilla coke, listen to the popcorn machine go pop, pop, pop, and dig [Eb] through
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
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.
And I always had just enough time to run into the Woolworth's Store and get myself a vanilla

_ _ _ _ [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. _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ 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.
