lyrics

The night nurse comes
And checks you in the night
Puts things in order
When things ain't right
Helps you to the bathroom
Straightens up your sheets
Checks your pressure and your heart rate—
Regularity and beats.

On call in the wee hours
When everyone's asleep
Thank heaven for the night nurse
Count your blessings with your sheep.

In the quiet of the hospital
Footsteps whisper down the hall
The night nurse with meds or water
At some patient's urgent call
Checks tubes and wires
Makes everything okay
Brings comfort in the nighttime
Just a button's press away.

On call in the wee hours
When everyone's asleep
Thank heaven for the night nurse
Count your blessings with your sheep.
