"Lovely Rita" lyrics

Lovely Rita

Aaah

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
Lovely Rita
When are you free to take some tea
With me?
Lovely Rita, maid, ah
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
Rita meter maid
Lovely Rita meter maid
Oh, Lovely Rita meter meter maid
Lovely Rita meter maid
Ah da, ah da
Lovely Rita meter maid
