Lovely Rita

Lovely Rita meter maid
lovely Rita meter maid.

Lovely Rita meter maid
nothing can come between us
when it gets dark I tow your heart away
standing by a parking meter
when I caught a glimpse of Rita
filling in a ticket in her little white book
in a cap she looked much older
and the bag across her shoulder
made her look a little like a military man.

Lovely Rita meter maid
may I inquire discreetly
when are you free
to take some tea with me.

Rita!

Took her out and tried to win her
had a laugh and over dinner
told her I would really like to see her again
got the bill and Rita paid it
took her home I nearly made it
sitting on the sofa with a sister or two.

Oh lovely Rita meter maid
where would I be without you
give us a wink and make me think of you.

Lovely Rita meter maid
lovely Rita meter maid
lovely Rita meter maid
lovely Rita meter maid.
