Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lovely Rita, meter maid
Lovely Rita, meter maid
[Verse 2]
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 the 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
[Verse 3]
Lovely Rita, meter maid
May I inquire discreetly
When are you free to take some tea with me?
[Verse 4]
Rita
[Verse 5]
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 and nearly made it
Sitting on a sofa with a sister or two
[Verse 6]
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
Lovely Rita, meter maid
Lovely Rita, meter maid
Written by: John Lennon, Paul McCartney
