Top 10 Newcastle United Fan Chants (with Lyrics)

Newcastle United have some of the best fans in the Premier League, and as a result, they have some of the best fan chants, too.

St. James' Park is always rocking with a number of songs the Geordies like to sing, and even at away games you can hear the Toon Army singing their hearts out.

But Newcastle's songs don't only include the traditional templates you get from most teams, but some rather unique ones as well.

Including favourites such as "Blaydon Races" and "Howay the Lads," I'm going to take you through Newcastle's top 10 fan chants.

10. Shola Ameobi

Shola Ameobi may not be the best striker in Newcastle United history, but he's still a cult hero.

Ameobi is one of Newcastle's longest-tenured players right now, and as a result, fans have become quite attached to the Nigerian.

Lyrics

(To the tune of The Hoki Koki)

You Put Your Left Foot In
Your Right Foot Out
In Out, In Out And Shake It All About
You Do The Ameobi And You Turn Around
That's What It's All About
Hey Shola Ameobi
Hey Shola Ameobi
Knees Bent, Arms Stretched
Ra Ra Ra

9. Any O'Brien

The Tyne-Wear derby is one of the most hotly contested derbies in football, so it's no surprise that both Liam O'Brien and Andy O'Brien's goals in respective games against Sunderland are still remembered fondly today.

Lyrics

Who put the ball in the Mackems' net?

O'Brien, O'Brien

Liam O'Brien, Andy O'Brien

Any O'Brien!

8. Up the Premier League We Go

Considering Newcastle's qualification for the Europa League under Alan Pardew last season, this song is pretty apt.

Lyrics

E-I-E-I-E-I-O
Up the Premier League we go,
When we get to Europe,
This is what we'll sing,
We are Geordies, super Geordies,
Pardew is our King.

7. Same Old Shearer

Alan Shearer is the greatest player in Newcastle United history, so it's only right that the Geordies had a chant to sing for each of the 206 goals he scored in black and white.

Lyrics

Same old Shearer, always scoring

Same old Shearer, always scoring

6. We Love Newcastle

The Toon Army obviously love Newcastle United, but that doesn't stop them from giving a quick reminder at every home game.

Lyrics

We love Newcastle, we do
We love Newcastle, we do
We love Newcastle, we do
Oh, Newcastle we love you

5. When the Mags Go Marching in

Most every football team has their own version of "When the Saints go marching in," and as you'd expect, the Toon Army are in on the act, too.

Lyrics

Oh, when the Mags
Go marching In 
Oh, when the Mags go marching in
I want to be in that number
Oh, when the Mags go marching in

4. Howay the Lads

The tunnel out to the hallowed St. James' Park is adorned with famous Geordie saying "Howay the Lads," and there's a chant to go with it, too.

Lyrics

Howay the Lads,

Howay the Lads,

Howay the Lads,

Howay!

3. Geordie Boot Boys

This song pretty much sums up the Toon Army...

Lyrics

We are the Geordies! The Geordie Boot Boys!
For we are mental! For we are mad!
For we're the loyalist football supporters!
The world has ever had!

2. Toon! Toon!

This chant may be simple, but it's effective and often gets multiple stands joining in to take the separate parts.

Lyrics

Toon! Toon!
Black and White Army!

Toon! Toon!
Black and White Army!

1. Blaydon Races

Blaydon Races is without doubt the go-to chant for the Toon Army. Other clubs may have their own versions of the song, but this will always be the original.

Lyrics

I went to Blaydon Races
'Twas on the 9th of June
Eighteen-hundred and sixty-two
On a summer's afternoon
We took the bus from Balmbras
And she was heavy laden
Away we went along Collingwood Street
That's on the road to Blaydon

Oh me lads, you should've seen us gannin'

Passing the folks along the road
Just as they were stannin'
All the lads and lasses there
All wi' smilin' faces
Gannin along the Scotswood Road
To see the Blaydon Races

We flew past Armstrong's factory
And up by the Robin Adair
Gannin ower the Railway Bridge
The bus wheel flew off there
The lasses lost their crinolenes
And the veils that hide their faces
I got two black eyes and a broken nose
Gannin t' Blaydon Races

Oh me lads...

Now when we got the wheel back on
Away we went again
But them that had their noses broke
They went back ower hyem
Some went to the dispensary
And some to Doctor Gibbses
And some to the infirmary
To mend their broken ribses

Oh me lads...

Now when we got to Paradise
There were bonny games begun
There were four and twenty on the bus
And how we danced and sung
They called on me to sing a song
And I sung 'em "Paddy Fagan"
I danced a jig and I swung me twig
The day wi' went to Blaydon

Oh me lads...

We flew across the Chain Bridge
And into Blaydon Toon
The bellman he was calling then
They called him Jackie Broon
I saw him talking to some chaps
And them he was persuadin'
To gan and see Geordie Ridley's show
At the Mechanics' Hall in Blaydon

Oh me lads...

The rain it poured down all the day
And made the ground quite muddy
Coffee Johnny had a white hat on
Shouted, "Whi stole the cuddy?"
There were spice stalls and monkey shows
And owld wives selling ciders
And a chap on a ha'penny roundaboot
Saying, "Noo me lads for riders?"

Oh me lads... (to fade)
