Lovely Rita meter maid nothing can come between us
   B5                        E5                      A5
When it gets dark I tow your heart away

  D5                    G5                       C5                       F5
Standing by a parking meter  when I caught a glimpse of Rita
 D5                                      A5
Filling in a ticket in her little white book.
 D5                       G5                         C5                    F5
In a cap she looked much older, and the bag across her shoulder
  D5                                        A5
Made her look a little like a military man.

 Took her out and tried to win her, had a laugh, and over dinner
  D5                                                         A5
Told her I would really like to see her again
  D5                               G5       C5                         F5
Got the bill and Rita paid it, took her home, I nearly made it,
 D5                                      A5
Sitting on the sofa with a sister or two
