DISTRICT NURSE HARGREAVES
(Denis King, John Junkin)


There's a little lady who cycles round our way
And ev'ry time she passes me
I'd dearly long to say

District Nurse Hargreaves, I love you
District Nurse Hargreaves be mine
In your little blue coat
And your little blue hat
You make my heart go a'pit and a'pat

Dear District Nurse Hargreaves I'm pining
District Nurse Hargreaves for you
I know that you are at least SRN*
And I am a grocer, the humblest of men.
But love conquers all so I'll say it again
District Nurse Hargreaves be mine

(Spoken)
Dear District Nurse Hargreaves as I stand in the doorway of my shop ankle deep in King Edwards** and watch you go by on your sensible ladies bicycle with the black and gold chainguard, on your way to deliver yet another set of twins for Mr Upchurch the butcher. (I do think that man needs a hobby, don't you?)
Each time I see you my heart swells within me and I want to tell the whole world of my love.

(Back to singing)
Dear District Nurse Hargreaves I'm pining.
District Nurse Hargreaves for you
District Nurse Hargreaves or may I say Rhoda?
I love your flat shoes and your aseptic odour.
That's the end of the song, now we come to the coda!
District Nurse Hargreaves, my District Nurse Hargreaves
Please be mine.

(Fade out to the ringing of a bicycle bell!)
