Whitley Bay

Oh beautiful Town, cast off your old gown
Wear your big smile, discard your cold frown
Be that source of warm dreams, that you used to be
Fulfil your true place in history
Where people would meet, and stand proudly in awe
Surrounded by the scenery, of the sea and the shore
It was a time of good reason, A moment so clear
A time to remember, all those we held dear
Show them, Now, show them, Once and for all
Hold your head high forever, Use your Will and walk tall
And the days will soon gather, and paint out the grey
And the crown of your realm, will be Whitley Bay
Ponder no longer, feel the breeze, taste the brine
You are part of the treasures, Unearthed in this rhyme
Rally you people, with your hearts and your trust
Let unity be an emblem, The quest of the Just
