You know I got a letter from a friend of mine

In Newcastle-Upon-a'Tyne the other day

He said to me "Eric I heard you've been havin' some trouble down in the smoke with the girls"

He said "You wanna catch that flyin' Scotsman back up here to Newcastle,

'Cause we've got enough females to go around up here

And I can figure you can find yourself a little somethin'

And because people around here don't go away stealin' each others loved ones away from one another,

Like they do down there in the smoke"

He also said in the letter that, ah,

Things don't happen like that here on Tyne

And I believed every word he said, now

Things don't happen like that here on Tyne

One more thing he told me now

Things don't happen like that here on Tyne

He said to me babe

Things don't happen like that here on Tyne

He said, all right, all right

So I'm sayin' to you who are listen'

If you've been unlucky in love

And you've lost somebody love

And you hear a voice that comes to you in the middle of the night and says

It says I want you to get on up

Listen to me,

I want you to get on up and find yourself another one

If your havin' breakfast one morning and out from behind the teapot a little voice says,

Listen, Hey! I want you to get on up now

If your out in the mornin' on your job

and a voice come to you on your job and says,

Get up! Get Up!

And you know its not the foreman

Its a little voice that says

You wanna get up and walk ...(?) women

Go on and find yourself somebody

That's what you'd better do.

Because I'll tell you one thing

There's one thing I found out

One thing I found out

Took me a long time to find it out

Yeahit took
