As I was lyin in a hospital bed
A rock n roll nurse goin to my head
She says, hold ya arm, stick out ya tongue
I gots some pills I'm gonna give you somes

She went into my head, into my head
A rock n roll nurse, went into my head
Into my head, into my head
As I was lyin in a hospital bed

A little pill for my legs, but that didn't ache
I tried some pills for my heart, but a little to late
Gots some pills for my love, to put me at ease
Ats when a rock n roll nurse shook me down to my knees

She went into my head, shoved into my head
A rock n roll nurse went into my head
Into my head, into my head
As I was lyin in a hospital bed

(I got the rock n roll nurse...)

Nursey nursey, I dont see
Well I don't understand what your doin to me
Said ya give me the pills, then ya give me the shot
Got me wonderin what is worse I got
