Lovely Rita - Roy Wood

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 (Lovely Rita)

May I inquire discreetly (Lovely Rita)

When are you free to take some tea with me?

Rita!

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

Lovely Rita meter maid

Lovely Rita meter maid (Rita meter maid)

Lovely Rita meter maid (Oh Lovely Rita, meter maid)

Lovely Rita meter maid

Ah da, ah da, ah da, ah da

Ah da, ah da, ah da, ah da

Ah da, ah da, ah da, ah da

Ah da, ah da, ah da, ah da
