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,

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.
