Lyrics
- Wakko:
- She's the woman of the year
- Independent, a career
- There's not a thing that she couldn't do
- Oh, she's alert, she's aware
- She's got legs like Astaire
- And a hundred-fifty-seven IQ
- She has several PHDs
- Speaks fluent Japanese
- And her shoes will always match with her purse
- Whatever street she's walkin' down
- Everybody turns around and says...
- Yakko and Wakko:
- Hello, nurse!
- Wakko:
- She likes cheese and pepperoni
- Won a Pulitzer and a Tony
- She played the leading role in King Lear
- She never drinks, she never smokes
- She never laughs at dirty jokes
- She was ambassador to China last year
- Oh, she's politically correct
- She'd never call-collect
- She plays Chopin and she doesn't rehearse
- And when she's walkin' by,
- I give a little sigh and shout...
- Yakko and Wakko:
- Hello, Nurse!
- Wakko:
- She gets her math equations right
- She reads Tolstoy every night
- She won the Nobel Prize in physics. It's true
- She drives a shiny new Corvette
- Sings opera at the Met
- And volunteers her time at the zoo, oh!
- She won a scholarship to Yale
- Got her Fulbright in the mail
- And took a two-year junior college degree
- She's manna sent from heaven
- Too bad I'm only seven
- Cause, Hello Nurse,
- I wish you'd take care of me!
- Yakko and Wakko:
- If she's not everything that we've said,
- Then may lightning strike us dead!
- Hello, Nurse!
Trivia
- Wakko claims to be seven years old during the song; however, in episode 14 of Talkin' Toons, series creator Tom Ruegger says that he's actually eleven, and that "seven" fit more with the syllable count.
- In Wakko's Wish, Hello Nurse states that she has an IQ of 192, despite Wakko saying it was 157 in this song; this may have been why Yakko and Wakko were struck by lightning.
