Standing by a parking meter when I caught a glimpse of Rita
E H
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

When it gets dark I tow your heart away
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
