Lovely Rita, Rita maid, Nothing can come between us. When it gets dark I tow your heart away. Standing by a parking meter, When I caught a glimpse of Rita, Filling in the ticket in her little white book. In her cap she looked much older, And the bag across her shoulder, Made her look a little like a military man. Lovely Rita, Rita maid, May I quietly scream, When you're 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 and nearly made it, Sitting on the sofa with her sister in tune. Oh, lovely Rita, Rita maid, Where would I be without you? Give us a wink and make me think of you. Lovely Rita, Rita maid, Lovely Rita, Rita maid, Lovely Rita, Rita maid, Lovely Rita, Rita maid.
