On the Cambois nudist beach

Song Lyrics
Get yourself to Beamish
Get yourself to Beamish, the open air museum
‘The North of England’s heritage’ is its’ task and theme
Now Beamish has come of age since nineteen seventy
When it opened for the first time for all the world to see
Goodbye Killingworth Towers
Chorus
So it’s goodbye Killingworth Towers
You should never have been built at all
There’ll be plenty of cheers and not many tears
When Alcatraz begins to fall
At The Oxford (A Tribute to Don Smith)

There were plenty’ lasses on the floor dancing to the beat
And if you got to take one home, your night would be complete
There was many a match made at The Oxford
North Blyth
CHORUS
North Blyth, North Blyth, fighting to stay alive
North Blyth, North Blyth, fighting to stay alive
A Good Old Geordie Song
CHORUS
Ye cannit beat a good old Geordie song

Though the other kids scoffed him, he was on his way to fame
Grab a Granny Neet
CHORUS:
They come from many miles aroond on Grab a Granny Neet
From the country and the toons on Grab a Granny Neet
As long as you’re not fussy, and ye divvent have two left feet
You can hardly fail to score on Grab a Granny Neet Continue reading

Competitions for musicians, and those who knew a song
And if they had a chorus, we would sing along Continue reading
Tall Ships on the Tyne
They came for the Tall Ships Race in the summer eighty six,
From a dozen diff’rent nations there were eighty diff’rent ships.
CHORUS : The week there were Tall Ships on the Tyne,
The week there were Tall Ships on the Tyne,
Even the Queen made a visit to the scene,
The week there were Tall Ships on the Tyne,
