B            A
Lovely Rita meter maid
Lovely Rita meter maid

Chorus:
 E           D     A    E                   B
Lovely Rita meter maid nothing can come between us
C#m                 F#7              B
When it gets dark I tow your heart away

E              A           D                  G
Standing by a parking meter when I caught a glimpse of Rita
 E                          B
filling in a ticket in her little white book

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

Chorus:
E            D     A    E                 D
Lovely Rita meter maid may I enquire discreetly
C#m                  F#7                 B  A   G#m   F#m 
When are you free to take some tea with me?
 E6  B7 E D A E B7 E F#7  B7
Ah                      Rita

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
