When I caught a glimpse of Rita,

Filling in a ticket in her little white book.

And the bag across her shoulder

Made her look a little like a military man.

Took her out and tried to win her.

Had a laugh and over dinner,

Got the bill and Rita paid it.

Took her home I nearly made it,

Sitting on the sofa with a sister or two. Oh
