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 the 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 and nearly made it

Sitting on a 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

They'll never believe it
