Newport County 1912-1989

Carl Zeiss Jena

George Street Bridge, was crossed by kids in amber
A junk shop on the corner showed the way
Alert police observed the peace in protest
‘Will Carl Zeiss Jena match our rugged play?’

And on and on and on we sang
And on and on and on we sang forever
And on and on and on we sang, ‘till Carl Zeiss Jena,
Broke our hearts

A simple tap, the offside trap was failing
A self sufficient winger made a break
Our fears were met, when in the net, not over
The official size five leather sealed our fate

And on and on and on we sang
And on and on and on we sang forever
And on and on and on we sang, ‘till Carl Zeiss Jena,
Broke our hearts
