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 a cap she looked much older

And the bag across her shoulder

Made her look a little like a military man

May I inquire discreetly

When are you free to take some tea with me? (Lovely meter maid)

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 and nearly made it

Sitting on a 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

(Lovely Rita, meter maid) Lovely Rita maid

(Lovely Rita meter maid) Rita meter maid

(Lovely Rita meter maid) Oh! Lovely Rita meter meter maid

(Lovely Rita meter maid)

They'll never believe it!
