Text: Fats Domino. Sweet Patootie: Complete Reprise Recordings. Lovely Rita.
Lovely Rita, meter maid
Lovely Rita, meter maid
Lovely Rita, meter maid
Nothing can come between us
When it get dark I tow your heart away
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
Lovely Rita, meter maid
May I ask discreetly?
When are you free to have a drink with me?
Lovely Rita, meter maid
Lovely Rita, meter maid
Lovely Rita, meter maid
Nothing can come between us
When it get 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 and nearly made it
Sitting on the sofa with a sister or two
Oh, lovely Rita, meter maid
Where will I be without you?
Give me a wink and make me think of you
(Lovely Rita, meter maid)
Didn't have me Rita
(Lovely Rita, meter maid)
I love nobody but you, Rita
(Lovely Rita, meter maid)
Ooh, yeah
(Lovely Rita, meter maid)
I say here we go
(Lovely Rita, meter maid)
Please, please, Rita?
(Lovely Rita, meter maid)
I need nobody but you, Rita
(Lovely Rita, meter maid)
Lovely Rita, meter maid
Lovely Rita, meter maid
Nothing can come between us
When it get dark I tow your heart away
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
Lovely Rita, meter maid
May I ask discreetly?
When are you free to have a drink with me?
Lovely Rita, meter maid
Lovely Rita, meter maid
Lovely Rita, meter maid
Nothing can come between us
When it get 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 and nearly made it
Sitting on the sofa with a sister or two
Oh, lovely Rita, meter maid
