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