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
