NHS Song

Yes we need yes we need we need our National Health Service
Not for profit not for profit but to serve the people’s needs
No no to neo liberal economics
No no to private companies stealing public money.

Yes we love yes we love we love our nurses and doctors
Not to exploit them not to exploit them but to let them do what they do best
No no to neo liberal economics
No no to global companies destroying our National Health Service.

Yes we love yes we love we love our National Health Service
It’s free at the point, its free at the point, its free at the point of delivery
Yes yes we can afford it it’s very cost effective
Don’t let the Tories destroy it, it’s the best thing we ever created.
