CHORUS

       Who’d want to marry a nurse?
       ‘can’t think of anything worse
       It’s one of life’s greatest curses
       To fall in love with them nurses

She says you can’t do this, and you can’t eat that
It’s carcinogenic, or has too much fat
Her dinner conversation will make you gag
When she talks about changing some colostomy bag

REPEAT CHORUS

You want to take her out, you’re gonna be miffed
When she says she had to work a double shift
Her walls are covered with a compilation 
Of autographed X-rays of famous patients

REPEAT CHORUS

But on a journey on a gurney to the operating room
I saw her smile so caring and warm
With her stethoscope and charts, she stole my heart
And I’m a sucker for a woman in uniform

So I asked for the hand
In the surgical glove...
Now there’s just one thing worse
Than to marry a nurse
It’s not to marry that nurse you love
I said there’s just one thing worse
In the universe
It’s not to marry that nurse you love
