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
