it could be that the beates write songs about lesbians. what if rita is a lesbian? that's my theory. i have a theory they write about lesbians.

@GrungyBeatle I agree that this song is probably about lesbians. During a press conference in 1966, they were falsely accused of writing "songs about prostitutes and lesbians," so I guess this is their answer to that.

@GrungyBeatle But, hmm, as a second thought, I think it's actually just about someone who keeps getting parking tickets so they try to cozy up to the meter maid so that she will look the other way. That's why at the end, there's the line "give us a wink"-- because now that they are on friendly terms, she'll let them park however long they want.
