Lyrics:

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.
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.
