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.
