The Beatles LOVELY RITA (Lennon/McCartney) album SGT.PEPPER'S... выпуск 1.07.1967г.
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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LOVELY RITA ПРЕЛЕСТНАЯ РИТА (JOHN LENNON/PAUL McCARTNEY) Записана 23, 24 февраля, 7, 21 марта 1967г. Этот гимн дорожным патрульным (meter maids - В число их основных обязанностей входит контроль за правильной парковкой транспортных средств. Большое количество патрульных в Англии - женщины.) - милая музыкальная фантазия, свидетельствующая об известной самоуверенности и юморе ее авторов. Ее оригинальность подчеркнута фортепианным проигрышем в исполнении маэстро Джорджа Мартина.
