I went to Wembley Stadium
''Twas on the 5th of May
Nineteen hundred and seventy three
What a flamin' day
We showed them how to drink brown ale
We showed them how to sup
We even showed the bastards
How to win the F.A. Cup.

When could we possibly have stolen anything resembling that from you lot? ;)

Joe Harvey's having nightmares
So bad they wake him up
He dreams he's down at Wembley
Watching Sunderland win the cup

And in the boardroom drinking tea
Stan Seymour asked for cocoa
Joe turned white he had a fright
He thought he'd asked for Stokoe

There was more verses but that's all I can remember :)

Greatest ever football chant?

Aa went to Blaydon Races, 'twas on the ninth of Joon,
Eiteen hundred an' sixty-two, on a summer's efternoon;
Aa tyuk the 'bus frae Balmbra's, an' she wis heavy laden,
Away we went 'lang Collin'wood Street, that's on the road to Blaydon.

(chorus)

Ah me lads, ye shudda seen us gannin',
We pass'd the foaks alang the road just as they wor stannin';
Thor wis lots o' lads an' lassies there, aal wi' smiling faces,
Gannin' alang the Scotswood Road, to see the Blaydon Races.

We flew past Airmstrang's factory, and up to the "Robin Adair",
Just gannin' doon te the railway bridge, the 'bus wheel flew off there.
The lassies lost their crinolines off, an' the veils that hide their faces,
An' aw got two black eyes an' a broken nose gannin' te Blaydon Races.

(chorus)

When we gat the wheel put on away we went agyen,
But them that had their noses broke they cam back ower hyem;
Sum went to the Dispensary an' uthers to Doctor Gibbs,
An' sum sought out the Infirmary to mend their broken ribs.

(chorus)

Noo when we gat to Paradise thor wes bonny gam begun;
Thor was fower-an-twenty on the 'bus, man, hoo they danced an' sung;
They called on me to sing a sang, aa sung them "Paddy Fagan",
Aa danced a jig an' swung my twig that day aa went to Blaydon.

(chorus)

We flew across the Chain Bridge reet into Blaydon toon,
The bellman he was callin' there, they call him Jackie Broon;
Aa saw him talkin' to sum cheps, an' them he was pursuadin'
To gan an' see Geordy Ridley's concert in the Mechanics' Hall at Blaydon.

(chorus)

The rain it poor'd aall the day an' mayed the groons quite muddy,
Coffy Johnny had a white hat on – they war shootin' "Whe stole the cuddy."
There wis spice stalls an' munkey shows an' aud wives selling ciders,
An' a chep wiv a hapenny roond aboot, shootin' "Noo, me lads, for riders."

(chorus)

The song is now usually sung with more modern language but retaining the Tyneside dialect. For example the chorus might be sung:

Oh! me lads, ye shud a' seen w'us gannin,
Passin' the folks alang the road just as they were stannin'.
Aal the' lads and lasses there, aal wi' smiling faces,
Gannin' alang the Scotswood Road to see the Blaydon Races.

They aal went down to Villa Park,
T'was the 24th of May.
Hoping God won shine on them upon the Sabbath day.
Proud as punch is stripey shirts,
Cream of the Geordie nation.
Gannin' doon to Birminghaaam:
To see the relegation

Oh! me lads, ye shoulda 'em cryin',
Watch the shambles on the pitch, their Premier dreams a'dyin'
Aal the' lads and lasses there, aal had gloomy faces,
Gannin' doon't the Championshiiiiip. With aal of Shearer's aces
