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, c*m 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
