An entirely unofficial celebration of Newport Pagnell Town FC’s 2021/22 run to the FA Vase final with all profits from sales being donated to the club’s fundraiser for a memorial stand for Steve Dart - a coach and volunteer at the club who passed away in January 2022.
Up the Swans!

After a qualification statement of intent,
Whoever we drew was wherever we went.
And a final day at the national ground
Was spoken of silently from hand covered mouths.
Oh the Swans are taking me
All the way to Wembley!
And although that turf is hallowed,
My heart remains at Willen Road.
I keep waking up wondering if it’s all a dream
And I’m waiting for the carpet to be pulled from my feet
Because truthfully?
It still doesn’t make sense.
And when pleasure’s paved the way for anxiety
Then it’s time to go and author some history
Oh Newport are massive
Everywhere they go!
Oh the Swans are taking me
All the way to Wembley
And although that turf is hallowed
But my heart remains at Willen Road
Wembley.
Wembley.
Wembley.
We’re the famous Newport town,
And we’re going…
Oh the Swans are taking me
All the way to Wembley
And I know that turf is hallowed
But my heart remains at Willen Road.
(Newport are massive everywhere they go
Newport are massive everywhere they go
Everywhere they go)
(Wembley, Wembley
We’re the famous Newport town
And we’re going to Wembley)
