for the League Cup final 2023
I’m an old Toon Army veteran, I’ve known both joy and pain
I’ve followed the lads across the land, in sun and wind and rain
But I kissed the cup in Budapest where the Danube flows like wine
With Moncur’s mighty Magpies in the summer of ‘69
We quietly entered Europe through the back door so they say
Then Feyenoord of Rotterdam we showed them how to play
‘Hey Jude’ was on the wireless I remember every line
When we beat them in November ‘fore the Summer of ‘69
CHORUS In the Gallogate and the Leazes you’ll see me on parade
Mcfaul, Moncur, Pop Robson, the Magic never fades
With me retro black and white muffler from the Handyside Arcade
Joe Harvey divn’t tell us I was dreaming
Portugal’s Sporting Lisbon they wished they’d stayed at home
Wyn Davies, Gibb & Robson they plundered and they roamed
Real Zaragoza we took on the away goal in front of 60,000 at St James’
I bowt a brand new Crombie hat at Marcus Price’s sale
Against Vitoria Setubal I knew we wouldn’t fail
Young Foggon from West Pelton he scored a goal divine
And we entered Europe’s front door in the summer of ‘69
CHORUS In the Gallogate and the Leazes you’ll see me on parade
Mcfaul, Moncur, Pop Robson, the Magic never fades
With me retro black and white muffler from the Handyside Arcade
Joe Harvey divn’t tell us I was dreaming
Glasgow Rangers up at Ibrox where cold Clyde water flows
Mcfoul he saved a penalty, they broke Wynn Davies’ nose!
But back here in Newcastle we put them 2-0 in the Tyne
And we drew the magic Magyars in the summer of ‘69
Frankie Clark from Highfield he played in every game
& Jimmy Scott from Falkirk, by God he did the same
We battled our way across Europe in the rain and snow and mud
Scots, Welsh, Irish & wor Geordie lads with football in their blood
CHORUS In the Gallogate and the Leazes you’ll see me on parade
Mcfaul, Moncur, Pop Robson, the Magic never fades
With me retro black and white muffler from the Handyside Arcade
Joe Harvey divn’t tell us I was dreaming
