Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You wore a golden crucifix

Loved the taste of Silk Cut Silver on your lips

And Agatha Christie's were your favourite murder mysteries

We'd watch re-runs, eating homemade chips

[Chorus]

Oh, dear Rita, nice to meet ya

Do you remember how

I used to be your pride and joy?

Oh, dear Rita, you seem sweeter

Every time I come around

I'll always be your sonny boy

Oh, my Rita, oh, my Rita, oh, my Rita

Oh, my Rita, oh, my Rita, oh, my Rita

[Verse 2]

Your council flat was only small

With family portraits and shillelaghs on the wall

You'd win my money playing Scabby Queen and Rummy

But now you've forgotten all the rules

[Chorus]

Oh, dear Rita, nice to meet ya

Do you remember how

I used to be your pride and joy?

Oh, dear Rita, you seem sweeter

Every time I come around

I'll always be your sonny boy

Oh, my Rita, oh, my Rita, oh, my Rita

Oh, my Rita, oh, my Rita, oh, my Rita

[Verse 3]

I came to see you on my lunch

You haven't said my name in a few months

If you forget me, don't worry, girl, it won't upset me

I'll remember for the both of us

[Chorus]

Oh, dear Rita, nice to meet ya

Do you remember how

I used to be your pride and joy?

Oh, dear Rita, you seem sweeter

Every time I come around

I'll always be your sonny boy

Oh, my Rita, oh, my Rita, oh, my Rita

Oh, my Rita, oh, my Rita, oh, my Rita

Oh, my Rita, oh, my Rita, oh, my Rita

Oh, my Rita, oh, my Rita, oh, my Rita
