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

When are you free to take some tea with me?
E6/B        B7          |E    D A|E   B7   |E   F#7   |B7
Ah                Rita

chorus

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

chorus
