Lovely Rita (Speech and Take 9)

Lyrics

[Intro: John Lennon, George Harrison, Paul McCartney] My guitar still seems to go in and out like it's, like the lead's wrong I did a free-go one then, one of them wonder then you don't know what you're doing, just a funny piece I did a freak out one then One of them where you don't know what you're doing Keep that one Alright, let's go One, two, three, four Et laudate, cum una voce reclamamus, nos nobis unum sic toto mundo nati [Chorus: Paul McCartney] Lovely Rita, meter maid Nothing can come between us When it gets dark I tow your heart away [Verse 1: Paul McCartney] 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 [Chorus: Paul McCartney] Lovely Rita, meter maid May I inquire discreetly When are you free to take some tea with me? [Bridge: Paul McCartney] Rita! [Verse 2: Paul McCartney] 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 [Chorus: Paul McCartney] Oh, lovely Rita, meter maid Where would I be without you? Give us a wink and make me think of you Lovely meter maid Rita, meter maid Oh, lovely Rita meter, meter maid, yeah [Outro: John Lennon] Oh, no, no, no, no, no I refuse to go
