The Caesars had an empire, many many years ago
But the locals didn’t like it so they went and built a great big wall
Though they didn't have all the answers, they brought up troops from the deepest East
And settled them right on the Tyne, and there were Arabs on the beach
You can't change history, or have every answer
But will always have Sand Dancers
on the beach
With their Roman masters gone, they felt they were where they belonged
Going back to home just wasn’t on
The locals all became good friends, sharing everything that they could reach
And if a red moon did arise, all the local natives eyes
We're watching the Sand Dancers on the beach
You can't change history, but here is what you will always see
We always have Sand Dancers on the beach
When the pillaging Scots Army came,
The Newcastle walls just stopped their game
George’s men all refusing to yield
So the Scots followed the Tyne
And at it’s mouth they could only find
Even more Sand Dancers dancing on the beach
You can't change history, but here is what you will always see
We always have Sand Dancers on the beach
We have fought the French since then
Two World war against German
And Ashington bring a World Cup home
We sang the Blaydon Races, for Wor Jackie’s FA Heroes
And Keegan the Messiah, to entertain the lads until closing time
You can't change history, but here is what you will always see
We always have Sand Dancers on the beach
Now 2020 has arrived, to see the city drowning in tears
United strung up to whims of a Cockney swine
And then from out the blue, there came the vital news
At last the Cockney would be on his way
The new owners stood to answer
Rescued by an old Sand Dancer
Camels love the beach down on the Tyne
You can't change history, but here is what you will always see
We always have Sand Dancers on the beach
