Took her out and tried to win her
Made her look a little like a military man
(Lovely Rita, meter maid)
May I ask discreetly?
I say here we go
And the bag across her shoulder
When it get dark I tow your heart away
Please, please, Rita?
When are you free to have a drink with me?
Lovely Rita, meter maid
I need nobody but you, Rita
(Lovely Rita, meter maid)
Where will I be without you?
Sitting on the sofa with a sister or two
In a cap she looked much older
Give me a wink and make me think of you
Oh, lovely Rita, meter maid
Had a laugh and over dinner
Filling in a ticket in her little white book
(Lovely Rita, meter maid)
(Lovely Rita, meter maid)
When I caught a glimpse of Rita
When it get dark I tow your heart away
I love nobody but you, Rita
Nothing can come between us
Got the bill and Rita paid it
(Lovely Rita, meter maid)
Nothing can come between us
Standing by a parking meter
Lovely Rita, meter maid
Took her home and nearly made it
Told her I would really like to see her again
(Lovely Rita, meter maid)
Didn't have me Rita
Lovely Rita, meter maid
Ooh, yeah
Lovely Rita, meter maid
Lovely Rita, meter maid
