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.
I the 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 you are free to take some tea with me
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.
