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 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.
