Nursie-Nursie written and composed by Worton David & Bert Lee 1910
Performed by Clarice Mayne
She was a sweet little neat little nurse He was her patient quite a long purse And a most patient patient was he She nursed him daily for he wasn't well Though what really ailed him he couldn't quite tell And for that matter neither could she Still he liked her nursing and she liked his gold And here is the sequel as I've heard it told
Nursie Nursie nursed her little Percy In a persevering way Nursie-Nursie persevered with Percy Till at last as I've heard say Percy-Percy fell in love with Nursie And a year since they were wed And now Nursie doesn't nurse her little Percy Percy nurses Little Nursie instead
He seemed to get neither better nor worse She got quute anxious for poor little nurse Percy's ailment could not understand His pulse was normal but curious to tell He always complained that he didn't feel well Unless Nursie kept hold of his hand She called in the doctor who said with a wink It's his heart that is wrong miss he's lost it I think
Nursie Nursie nursed her little Percy In a persevering way Nursie-Nursie persevered with Percy Till at last as I've heard say Percy-Percy married Nursie It's a year since they were wed And now Nursie doesn't nurse her little Percy Percy nurses Little Nursie instead
