Singer:beatles, the

aaaahhh. 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?

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

rita meter maid

oh lovely rita meter meter maid

ah da

ah da
