A service to the People
Helping those in crisis, giving care to the distressed
Helping the sick and poorly
That’s the job of the NHS
When accidents happen and medical treatment is in need
A hospital is the place to go
Where doctors and nurses do good deeds
They help the young and fragile
And also the old and frail
The NHS is there for everyone
For this countries people it tries not to fail
The NHS has given back life
When hope has nearly gone
Looking after the people that are in need
Helping them to carry on
The care and treatment is free
A great service to this country
Everyone has their own chance at making a recovery
All the people have somewhere to turn
When they need more than a first aid box
They will have someone to listen to their concerns
Giving light where it seems that there’s not a lot
Even though I have not been the best citizen
The NHS has been there for me
It has been there for family and friends
And also my community
So to 70 years of service
I’m sure the countries proud
Everyone has the right to live
The best that life can allow
