I'll tell yes aall aboot a fellow I knaa he comes from Gatesheed toon,
He's a moulder in the Steelworks and his name is Geordie Broon,
He's knaan ta iveryboddy, aall tell ye it's nee lie,
Ye should hear the fowk all aboot the place shoot as Geordie he gans by,

Its Geordie Broon, Its Geordie Broon,
Its good old Geordie Broon,
He can drink his ale, he can tell a tale,
Well its good old Geordie Broon

Now as me and Geordie kicked aroond Newcastle one day,
By half past one we'd supped wa lot so I says "right let's away"
But Geordie he says"nowt the sort, we'll have money in a jiff,
We'll just nip roond and pay a caall on me old mate Danny Smith" 1

On the club trip doon te London, we had waselves a time,
Then Geordie Broon he says "let's gan and meet some friends of mine"
And as sure as I am standing here, we went te meet the Queen,
Well I didn't knaa where te put mesel, its the forst time that aa've been.

On the moulders tour of Moscow we landed in Red Square,
Then Geordie Broon he says te me "now my mate he works there"
And straight into the Kremlin, Kosygin for te see, 2
And the way that he kissed Geordie Broon, well it fair embarrassed me

The song end up in dialogue with the narrator saying he must tell you of the Sunday morning in St Peter's Square as they waited to see The Pope and he says to Geordie Broon "at last someone that you don't know" to which Geordie Broon replies "aa knaa nebody better" and promptly disappears only to re-emerge a few minutes later on the balcony in the company of The Pope. There then follows a long conversation between the narrator and an Italian standing next to him culminating in the narrator saying "up there on the balcony - my mate Geordie Broon from Gatesheed" to which the Italian replies "I know that! But who is the bloke standing next to him?"

And we all started to sing "It's Geordie Broon etc.,"

1The late T.Dan Smith was leader of Newcastle City Council at the time of the song being written and he was later caught up in the Poulson corruption scandal of the early seventies.

Although in print the words look as dry as sticks the song blossomed as each verse was punctuated by a quick fire succession of jokes and observations regarding the people mentioned and what was topical at the time. You really need to hear someone sing/tell the tale to fully appreciate it.
