Good Night Nurse 1912 Mae West

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 28 Feb 2003

Now Sam McKee was sick and he
was taken to a hospital;
and there he met a swell Nurse Gal,
and right away, our Sam got gay
He forgot about his ills,
made love when she brought him pills;
ev'ry night when she would go off duty
Sam would holler out:
"Come here, my Cutey."

Goodnight, Nurse!
Tell the Doctor I'm no better;
Goodnight, Nurse!
write my folks a nice long letter,
say I need a rest and you fear
I had better stay here a year.
Feel my pulse,
hold my hand a little longer.
How's my heart?
Don't you think it's getting stronger?
Call me in the morning
or I'll get worse!
Kiss your little patient,
Good Night, Nurse!

Goodnight, Nurse!
Tell the Doctor I'm no better;
Goodnight, Nurse!
write my folks a nice long letter,
say I need a rest and you fear
I had better stay here a year.
Feel my pulse,
hold my hand a little longer.
How's my heart?
Don't you think it's getting stronger?
Call me in the morning
or I'll get worse!
Kiss your little patient,
Good Night, Nurse!

This tale they tell,
how Sam got well
the day he left his cosy bed
he met his old girl and was wed.
But married life,
Sam and his wife
soon agreed to disagree,
when he said: "That Nurse for me!"
Pots and pans
his wife then started throwing.
Sam's back in the hospital a crowing.

Goodnight, Nurse!
Tell the Doctor I'm no better;
Goodnight, Nurse!
write my folks a nice long letter,
say I need a rest and you fear
I had better stay here a year.
Feel my pulse,
hold my hand a little longer.
How's my heart?
Don't you think it's getting stronger?
Call me in the morning
or I'll get worse!
Kiss your little patient,
Good Night, Nurse!

Goodnight, Nurse!
Tell the Doctor I'm no better;
Goodnight, Nurse!
write my folks a nice long letter,
say I need a rest and you fear
I had better stay here a year.
Feel my pulse,
hold my hand a little longer.
How's my heart?
Don't you think it's getting stronger?
Call me in the morning
or I'll get worse!
Kiss your little patient,
Good Night, Nurse!
