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
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 a 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 meter maid
Rita meter maid
oh, Lovely Rita meter, meter maid
