Lovely Rita meter maid,

D                A
Nothing can come between us.

When it gets dark I tow your heart away.

D            G*
Standing by a parking meter,

C               F
When I caught a glimpse of Rita,

D                          A7
Filling in a ticket in her little white book.

D            G*
In a cap she looked much older,

C           F
And the bag across her shoulder

D                             A7           D Bm E A
Made her look a little like a military man.

D           C     G
Lovely Rita meter maid,

D               A
May I inquire discreetly,

Bm                   E7                   A* G* D A
When are you free to take some tea with me?

(Rita!)

D               G*
Took her out and tried to win her.

C               F
Had a laugh and over dinner,

D                              A7
Told her I would really like to see her again.

D               G*
Got the bill and Rita paid it.

C               F
Took her home I nearly made it,

D                          A7           D Bm E A
Sitting on the sofa with a sister or two. Oh

D          C     G
Lovely Rita meter maid,

D                    A
Where would I be without you?

Bm                E7                  A
Give us a wink and make me think of you.

A          G*
Lovely Rita meter maid

D          A
Lovely Rita meter maid

A          G*
Lovely Rita meter maid

Lovely Rita meter maid
