Pre 1948 our healthcare was dire
With many poor families left in the mire
Post ’48 it was time for a change
Free healthcare for all came into range
With a rush on false teeth and spectacles too
It was soon apparent the NHS worked for you
We learned at the sound of siren to just clear the road
Make way for the ambulance with a patient to offload
No monies passed hands, your healthcare was free
We’ve forgotten pre ’48 there were no doctors for me
Our buildings now old, our resources all on a squeeze
Your donations are needed so do help us please
With a state of the art MRI here just for you
We need to invest but we’ll need your help too
It’s our 70th Birthday so please give us a cheer
Our blessed NHS – it’s precious, please help keep us here!
