Nurse Lyrics by Jake Thackray

Live Performance (2006)

1968

Give us a kiss, just one little kiss
Sweet nurse, before you go
My hands are shaking, my 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
