We love it when people get in touch with us and share their love of our wonderful town on the Yorkshire coast. The Osborn family have recently shared a seaside song with us. They’ve written it themselves and sing it on every trip to Whitby.
Our family love Whitby and have written a family song to sing whenever we are there. It goes to the tune of, ‘Hit me with your Rhythm Stick’ by Ian Dury and the Blockheads.
It’s always just been a bit of fun but then it occurred to us that it would make a really good advert for Whitby. It takes in all the things we love about going there so we feels it really sums up the town as well as making us laugh.
All the best, the Osborn family.
Crank up the tunes and check out their wonderful seaside song below.
Whitby with your fish and chips
Through the bracken, across the moors,
To the late-night Vampire tours,
From deck chair snores on sea washed shores
And eating scampi out of doors
Whitby with your fish and chips Whitby! Whitby!
Angling trips and pirate ship, Whitby! Whitby! Whitby!
Whitby with your fish and chips
Kiss me slowly, kiss me quick.
Whitby! Whitby! Whitby!
From Ryedale wine and local ales
To Endeavour’s unfurled sails
From watching whales to smuggler’s tales
And riding steam across the rails
Whitby with your fish and chips Whitby! Whitby!
Angling trips and pirate ship, Whitby! Whitby! Whitby!
Whitby with your fish and chips
Milk-shake sips and ice cream drips.
Whitby! Whitby! Whitby!
Stroll the clifftops for the day
All along the Cleveland way
Caedmon’s Trod, Robin Hood’s Bay
Over hills and far away
Whitby with your fish and chips, Whitby! Whitby!
Angling trips and pirate ship, Whitby! Whitby! Whitby!
Whitby with your fish and chips
Jet black jewellery, seaside gifts.
Whitby! Whitby! Whitby!
Whitby with your fish and chips
Whitby! Whitby! WHITBEEEEEEEEE!
