Lovely Rita

The Beatles

R: 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.
   
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
   when are you free
   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.
