I Don’t Want to Get Well Songtext
von Eddie Cantor

I′ve just received an answer
To a letter that I wrote
From a pal who marched away
He was wounded in the trenches
Somewhere in France
And I worried about him night and day
"Are you getting well" was what I wrote
This is what he answered in him note


I don't want to get well
I don′t want to get well
I'm in love with a beautiful nurse
Early in the morning, night and noon
The cutest little girlie comes and feeds me with a spoon
I don't wanna get well
I don′t wanna get well
I′m glad they shot me on the fighting line
Fine
The doctor says that I'm in bad condition
But oh oh oh
I have so much ambition
I don′t wanna get well
I don't wanna get well
′Cause I'm having a wonderful time

I don′t wanna get well
I don't wanna get well
I'm in love with a beautiful nurse

The doctor says discreetment shows good results
Still I get a bad relapse each time she feels my pulse
I don′t wanna get well
I don′t wanna get well
I'm glad they shot me on the fighting line

She holds my hand
And begs me not to leave her
Then all at once I get so full of fever
I don′t wanna get well
I don't wanna get well
′Cause I'm having a wonderful time


When I′m blue
She give me hugs and kisses
Before I leave
I'll make this girl my Mrs
I don't wanna get well
I don′t wanna get well
′Cause I'm having a wonderful time
