Oh raise your glass and toast- the North Sea Durham coast
For it’s the place that means the most to me
And there’s a little jewel - just north of Hartlepool
It’s lovely Crimdon beach down by the sea
At night the car-park’s full - of night-hawks on the pull
But there’s lull when daylight comes around
It’s where the jet-set play - on Durham’s Coastal Way
It’s lovely Crimdon beach down by the sea
Chorus:
It may not have the glitz - of tea-time at The Ritz
But Crimdon fits the bill for you and me
For who needs Saint-Tropez - when you can spend the day
On lovely Crimdon beach down by the sea
And you can do things there - when love is in the air
That you will never dare to do at home
On lovely Crimdon beach - man - every plum’s a peach
And you can even buy a garden gnome
The Crimdon Little Tern - have lots of love to burn
And they return to Crimdon for a spree
One year they went to Hull - but found that rather dull
Compared to lovely Crimdon by the sea
The moon & stars are bright - the love-boat sails each night
So wrong it must be right so get on board
And TriAdvisor sez - that you can wear a fez
On lovely Crimdon beach down by the sea
Chorus:
So raise your glass again - to where a poet’s pen
Would yen to catch the spirit and esprit
And you’ll find more romance - than Blackpool or Penzance
On lovely Crimdon beach down by the sea
And when the years have flown - and Darby with his Joan
Both groan in places lager doesn’t reach
They’ll still recall the thrill - of dancing dressed to kill
On lovely Crimdon beach down by the sea
