The Nurse Songtext
von Jake Thackray

Give us a kiss, just one little kiss,
Sweet nurse, before you go.
My hands are shaking, me nerve ends are aching -
Oh nurse, I need it so!

No, no, no, I′ve got to go.
I've lots of work to do.
I can′t stay, there's other patients
Here as well as you.

Give us a kiss, just one little kiss,
Sweet nurse, I wish you would.
My palms are itching, my arteries twitching,
Sweet nurse, it'll do me some good.


No, no, no, I′ve got to go.
Please don′t think that I'm cool.
I′m not snooty, I'm on duty,
I mustn′t break the rule.

Give us a kiss, just one little kiss,
Sweet nurse, please ease my pain.
My head is turning, me knee caps are burning,
Sweet nurse, I shall burst into flame.

No, no, no, I've got to go,
Think what the Matron would say.
Keep your eyes closed and breathe through your nose,
And the feeling will soon go away.

Give us a kiss, just one little kiss,
Sweet nurse, please don′t be hard.
My temples are thumping, my war-wound is jumping,
I'm due for the old knacker's yard.


No, no, no, I′ve got to go.
My medical duties call.
Actually, I shouldn′t be
In bed with you now at all.
