Lovely Rita - Lyrics by Beatles, The


Lyrics

lovely rita meter maid..
lovely rita meter maid.
lovely rita meter maid.
nothing can come between us
when it gets dark I'll tow your heart away

Standing by a parking meter
when I caught a glimse 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
