The Tyneside Songs are a changing

Bobby Shaftoe went to sea Silver buckles on his knee Now he works for the BBC And he's had a sex change

She's a big lass And a bonny lass And she likes her beer And now she's an alcoholic And deaths door is near

You canna catch a bus from Bamberas Because they knocked it doon You have a canny walk to do It's halfway across the toon If you like a Chinese meal Then Stowell St I would stay on Or catch a socially distanced bus And bugger off to Blaydon

Oh me lads, can ya see them stannin Everyone a student that doesn't know where they're ganin Canna catch the Metro It doesn't have a station You may as well just stay at home! There is bugger, all in Blaydon
