Lovely Rita

Lovely Rita
(Lennon – McCartney)

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 the 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?

(Lovely Rita meter maid – ahh –)

Took her out and tried to win her
Had a laugh and over dinner
Told her I would really like to see her again
Get the bill and Rita paid it
Took her home I nearly made it
Sitting on the sofa with a sister or two

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)

(Ah…!)
