The third single by Riker and the Beachcombers, My Girl Rita, is a song about how various types of alcohol such as vodka, whiskey and scotch can’t compare to a Margarita.
When being sung «My Girl Rita» sounds like «Margarita» – a drink consisting of tequila and lime.
[Verse 1]
Vodka doesn't wash away the pain
Whiskey isn't with me all the way
I gave them all a shot, trying to meet 'em on the rocks
Nothing hits the spot just like you do
[Chorus]
My girl Rita, my tequila
Always been my go-to señorita
She bites like a lime but she goes down sweeter
She right on time everytime I need her
When you're in my hand sittin' beachside
I don't give a damn it's a good time
You gotta meet her
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, whoa
My girl Rita
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, whoa
[Verse 2]
I've tried a night of drinking scotch and soda
All it did was make me really miss ya
If there's one thing I know, could be silvеr could bе gold
But nothing has my heart just like you do
[Chorus]
My girl Rita, my tequila
Always been my go-to sеñorita
She bites like a lime but she goes down sweeter
She right on time everytime I need her
When you're in my hand sittin' beachside
I don't give a damn it's a good time
You gotta meet her
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, whoa
My girl Rita
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, whoa
[Bridge]
Now everywhere I go she goes
Living it up Casamigos
Now everywhere I go she goes
Pour me up some Casamigos
[Chorus]
My girl Rita, my tequila
Always been my go-to señorita
She bites like a lime but she goes down sweeter
She right on time everytime I need her
When you're in my hand sittin' beachside
I don't give a damn it's a good time
You gotta meet her
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, whoa
My girl Rita
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, whoa
My girl Rita

[During a night at Darren Criss’ bar in Hollywood] He [Jon Robert Hall] started to sing the beginning ideas for the chorus melody, and I knew right there that this could be something great.
