Another working class love song...again featuring the wonderfully talented Mr Eric Cox on mandolin and some lovely complimentary guitar by Rick Lambe.
lyrics
My Sweet Rita
Take your time now Rita girl, go put on your Sunday dress,
You don’t scrub up too bad at all get rid of that factory dirt,
We’ll go walking in the evening sun and we’ll sit there fir a while,
I’ll undress you with my eyes, my hands won’t leave my side,
Cos I just wish, to be alone with you.
I try to be articulate, I’m quoting Brendan Behan by the score,
I talk to you of theatre plays and of books that sound obscure,
You’re listening to the new top ten, me I’m like some old stick in the mud,
But then again White Man in Hammersmith Palais,
Well it always did me good,
And I just wish, to be alone with you.
(Chorus)
Oh my sweet Rita, with your apron and your carpet sweeper,
Oh girl, you’ve never looked sweeter,
And I just wish to be with you tonight.
Get out the house now Rita girl, leave your sisters and brothers inside,
Don’t go calling to your friends from work, just come sit here by my side,
You know I haven’t got much time I’ve got to make the evening shift,
So Rita won’t you come to my side before I miss my lift,
And I just wish, to be alone with you,
