LYRICS:

'Cos I, I, I, back in '48

Started the NHS and it's pretty great

​

Togs on, scrubbing up my palms

Operating theatre, let's go

Didn't want to sign up at first,

Now I'm really in the zone

​

Came here far from home

Straight on the wards, let's roll

Feel good? Looking strong

Cup of tea and you can soon go home

​

This is pretty heavy

Get me to the labour ward - I'm ready (ooh-ooh!)

Here you go, mummy

Best of all, it don't cost you money

​

No matter what's broke

We'll fix you up - you're good to go

Through childhood and when you grow up

(Great - so let's go)

​

'Cos Nye, Nye, Nye Bevan won his fight

To make sure everyone gets treated right

Countryside or city, from the young up to the old

The NHS'll make you feel alright (whoa-oh!)

​

Jump on board, sirens loud

Whoever needs to come along

Lights on, through the crowds

We're off to the hospital

​

Day or night, we'll see you right

If you can't make it you can call

Ladies and gentlemen, here is your medicine

And here are clean sheets for you all

​

Heart's beating steady

I can hear the boom-boom - you're ready (woo-hoo!)

Feet, eyes, tummy

We'll try and fix whatever feels funny

​

Drop off, then reload

I get the call, I'm good to go

I'm on call even when you throw up...

Let's go

​

'Cos I, I, I, saw stars tonight

Now they've fixed me up and I feel alright

Had some tea and toast and now I'll take my baby home

Will he sleep right through the night (whoa-oh...)

​

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

It's our NHS

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

It's our NHS

​

Driving through the city to wherever I must go

I'm so grateful for the NHS (whoa-oa!)

​

So I, I, I, I did my best

To give health care you could all access

Started something back then and it's still going real strong

So let's say thanks to the NHS!
