Lovely Rita

R: Lovely Rita meter maid,

lovely Rita meter maid.

Lovely Rita meter maid

nothing can come between us

Ami D7 G7

when it gets dark I tow your heart away.

1. 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

Ami

when are you free

D7 G7

to take some tea with me.

2. 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 some 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.

R: Lovely Rita meter maid...
