lyrics: [Intro: John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison]
  Lovely Rita, meter maid
  Lovely Rita, meter maid
  
  [Chorus 1: Paul McCartney]
  Lovely Rita, meter maid
  Nothing can come between us
  When it gets dark I tow your heart away
  
  [Verse 1: Paul McCartney]
  Standing by a parking meter
  When I caught a glimpse of Rita
  Filling in a 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
  
  [Chorus 2: Paul McCartney and (Lennon, McCartney & Harrison)]
  Lovely Rita, meter maid
  May I inquire discreetly (Lovely Rita)
  When are you free to take some tea with me? (Lovely Rita maid! Ahh-ah-ah)
  Rita!
  
  [Piano Solo]
  
  [Verse 2: Paul McCartney]
  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
  
  [Chorus 3: Paul McCartney]
  Oh, lovely Rita meter maid
  Where would I be without you?
  Give us a wink and make me think of you
  
  [Outro: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, & George Harrison and (Paul McCartney)]
  Lovely Rita meter maid (Lovely meter maid)
  Lovely Rita meter maid (Rita meter maid)
  Lovely Rita meter maid (Oh Lovely Rita, meter meter maid)
  Lovely Rita meter maid
  Ah da, ah da, ah da, ah da
  Ah da, ah da, ah da, ah da
  Ah da, ah da, ah da, ah da
  Ah da, ah da, ah da, ah da
