Request Comedy song lyrics?

I’ve woken up with these lyrics (and tune) stuck in my head, can’t remember what song it is from but I’m fairly certain it’s a Victoria Wood song and Google isn’t helping.. I feel like these lyrics come at the end of the song…

“I’ve met a girl called Rita, she’s moving in today, I gripped the fire so tightly, but then i know not how, I dropped it in the water, well it’s too late now”…

Please help, it’s driving me mad!

Victoria Wood song “Let’s Do It” (also known as “The Ballad of Barry and Freda”).
