In February 2023 a resurgent Newcastle United reached the
Caraboa Cup Final, Silverware gleamed, enticing the Magpies
South
Tell me Ma, me Ma
I won't be home for tea
We’re going to Wembley
Tell me Ma, me Ma
Wa ganna knock Man U oot the Cup!
Wa ganna knock Man U oot the Cup!
The Toon will get excited
When we beat Man United
Wa ganna knock Man U oot the Cup!
What scarf are you wearing, Stevie Bruce?
What scarf are you wearing, Stevie Bruce?
It will not be black and white
Cos you talk a load of shite
What scarf are you wearing, Stevie Bruce?
Westwood was a pirate
Westwood was a pirate
But now he’s gone
But now he’s gone
Are you watching?
Are you watching?
Are you watching Ashley?
Are you watching Ashley?
Heading Southwards marched Toon Army
Over 100,000 Geordies strong
Hitting London like a Tsunami
Everyone on best behaviour
Proudest Geordies, everyone
Those who made it into Wembley
Flags of Black and White did fly
Turning stands of the National Stadium
Into Tyneside, bringing tears to the eye
For 90 minutes the lads kept going
Red Devil's cheating at every chance
Still those flags were flying wildly
The 2-0 score was a bit unkindly
The Geordie voices still singing high
To hear the media, in reporting
The Final tale vastly distorting
Of how the Mighty Reds had won
Bossing the game against the Tyneside Sons
Be aware this is just a hiccup
The Magpie Revival has just begun
For five whole weeks the sky was dark
Despite the wins at St James’ Park
A shadow bigger than Stonehenge
Against the Mancs we needed revenge
History repeats, it had happened before
In the Charity Shield, they had lost by four
But when the Mancs came to the Tyne
We knocked in five
Albert was so fine
April 2 2023, 4:30 was the time
When Wembley’s flags began to fly
Blaydon Races blasted proud
Baying for blood, a hostile crowd
For 95 minutes, to a man
Each played their part in demolition
Of the much overrated Mancs
Their defence ground down by the Geordie ranks
Attack! Attack! Playing football true
The first half Willocks, should have had two
Half-time Redknapp, did openly say
Newcastle were spent, it was Manchester’s day
But Jamie had not read the script
The Toon side it was well equipped
With 65 minutes on the clock
Saint-Maximan the ball did cross
Knocked back by Isaak at the back post bold
This time Willocks did score his goal!
Then came Wilson, much discussed
To lead the line with a different thrust
The panicking Mancs all failed to see
His goal that was a header free
It was more than well deserved
After the match the Toon kept their calm
Praising the crowd, who’s flags did stay
Depression hit the woeful Mancs
Who could not even admit to all
That Newcastle deserved to win it all
