Standing by a parking meter  when I caught a glimpse of Rita
E                          B
filling in a ticket in her little white book

In a cap whe looked much older, and the bag across her shoulder
made her look a little like a military man

Ah                Rita


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

The Beatles - Lovely Rita
The Beatles - Lovely Rita (Copyright 1967 EMI Records) "Lovely Rita" is a song by The Beatles performed on the album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, written and sung by Paul mccartney, although as with all mccartney written Beatles songs it is credited to Lennon/mccartney. It is about a female traffic warden and the narrator's affection for her. The term "meter-maid" was largely unknown in the UK prior to the song's release. It is somewhat dated American slang for a female traffic warden, now officially known by the gender-neutral term parking attendant. According to some sources, the song emanates from when a female traffic warden named Meta Davis issued a parking ticket to mccartney outside Abbey Road Studios. Instead of becoming angry, he accepted it with good grace and expressed his feelings (sarcastically) in song. When asked why he had called her "Rita", mccartney replied, "Well, she looked like a Rita to me". Recording began on 23 February 1967. Using a four-track recorder, this first performance featured Harrison's guitar on track 1, Lennon's guitar on track 2, Ringo's drums on track 3, and mccartney's piano set on track 4. Once those tracks were "bounced," the band later added lead vocal, bass, and a three-part backing vocal section. A second piano, played by George Martin and processed electromechanically to wobble in and out of tune was added for the distinctive solo. By March 21, the final mono mix was completed and a month later, the stereo mix was ...

The Beatles - Lovely Rita
The Beatles - Lovely Rita ;) Lyrics: Lovely Rita meter maid, lovely Rita meter maid. Lovely Rita meter maid. Nothing can come between us, When it gets 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 inquire discreetly, When are you free, To take some tea with me. 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.
