Lovely Rita

lovely rita meter maid..
lovely rita meter maid.
lovely rita meter maid.
nothing can come between us
when it gets dark I'll tow your heart away

Standing by a parking meter
when I caught a glimse 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?

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
