Lovely Rita meter maid
Nothing can come between us
When it gets dark you tow my heart away
Standing by the parking meter
When I caught a glimpse of Rita
Filling in a ticket in her little white book
In 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 are you 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 the sofa with a sister or two
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
