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

Made her look a little like a military man

Lovely Rita meter maid, may I inquire discreetly

Sitting on a sofa with a sister or two Oh

Lovely Rita meter maid, where would I be without you

Lovely Rita meter meter maid, aaaah lovely Rita meter meter maid
