Hey Rita, there's a statue with your face
Hey Rita, in a park bearing your name
I'd love to take you there
But no one really cares

And who's to blame?
Yeah, I've been patient
But patience is just another game
And if you never stay
It wouldn't matter anyway, it's okay

Hey Rita, there's a statue with your face

Spread the word around
The queen is stepping down
Living with your mom and dad again
The houseboats have been sold
The cars have all been towed

It hasn't been this bad since who knows when
Hey Rita, we want to know where you have been
You can't believe it, you want to know where we were then
And if you never stay
Wouldn't matter what they say, it's okay

Hey Rita, there's a statue with your face

And if you never stay
Wouldn't matter anyway
Wouldn't matter anyway
'Cause who's to blame?

And if you never stay
Wouldn't matter what they say
Wouldn't matter what they say
It wouldn't matter what they say

Hey Rita, there's a statue with your face
