I think the lyrics were Hawway yer bugger, everybody get doon, it's friday neet, we're gannin' tappin in the toon.
I've been hunting for this for ages too
Funny but I was thinking of this song today. It starts with:
I nearly hoyed mesel off the Byker wall when a saw wor lass with a puff from Darras Hall
singing howay ya bugger every body get doon, it's frida neet and wa gannin ti the toon
howay ya bugger every body get doon, it's frida neet will gan tappin doon the toon.
Afraid the rest of it escapes me although there is a bit about getting "hoyd out of Julies for hocklin on the floor" lol. And as the music fades at the end the singer adds the odd "check it oot" and "play that funky guitar kidda"
Brilliant.
Just found the single lying in a cupboard. It's by David Baird with Steve Doyle on drums and Duly Wigglan on electric mandolin. Enjoy:
A nearly hoyd meesel off the Byker wall
when a saw wor lass with a puff from Darras Hall
so me mate sez “howay Dot revenge l’l come soon
it’s Friday neet will gan tappin doon the toon”
Chorus singin howay ye bugger everybody get doon
it’s Friday neet will gan tappin in the toon
singin howay ye bugger everybody get doon
it’s Friday neet will gan tappin in the toon
Well a seen a lass a fancied suckin a pop
ad seen a once before doon the tattoo shop
“howay pet whats me chance”?
she says “ya hairs too long and there’s chip grease on ya pants”
but me mate had a cap on and he asked a doon the coast
she nutted him and kicked him where it hurts the most
a says ti me marra “hows it gannin see far”?
then the barman shoots “see ya drinks off and blaa”
Chorus Howay ye bugger everybody get doon
it’s Friday neet and wa gannin te the toon
Howay ye bugger everybody get doon
it’s Friday neet and wa gannin te the toon
Wi went doon te Julies, me mate fell doon the stairs
all the kids was laffin at me high waisted flairs
me mate was mad coz he lost a platform boot
he hockled on the floor and the bouncers hoyd im oot
all the disco music was ringin in me ear
when a woke up in the morning a was bad with the beer
me mate shoots “kidda wiv got a bus te catch
Aafew mair pints and will gann te the match”
