CHORUS

BLovely Rita Ameter maid      Lovely Rita Bmeter maid


ELovely Rita Dmeter Amaid Enothing can come beBtween us
cisWhen it gets dark I Fis7tow your heart aBway

EStanding by a Aparking meter D when I caught a Gglimpse of Rita
Efilling in a ticket in her Blittle white book

In a cap whe looked much older, and the bag across her shoulder
made her look a little like a military man

|E cis fis7 B7|

CHORUS


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
