nothing can come between us
Ami D7 G7
when it gets dark I tow your heart away.

Standing by a parking meter
Bb Eb
when I caught a glimpse of Rita
C G7
filling in a ticket in her little white book.

In a cap she looked much older
Bb Eb
and the bag across her shoulder
C G7
made her look a little like a military man.

may I inquire discreetly
Ami
when are you free
D7 G7
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 some 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.
Lovely Rita meter maid ...
