I only remember the chorus, which is: Teesside is beautiful I'll have you to know And the coals from South Durham make the blast furnaces glow It's wonderful to see though the smoke's in your eyes The flames from the oil refineries as they light up the skies. One of the verses began: Thank you Mr Edward Heath you're a very nice chap And ended But don't smile on South Durham or your teeth will turn black. |

12 Sep 24 - 12:07 PM (#4208236) Subject: RE: Teesside is beautiful lyrics From: GUEST I was wondering if it was by one of the many Teesside Fettlers. I first heard it sung in London in 77 by someone who went to clubs in the Stockton area but can't remember the lyrics either after all these years! He was a big fan of the great Peter Bond, similar humour to some of Peter's songs, but not by him. |
