Christmas with the Browns

Season winding down

Not too many wins for us

Throwing people under the bus

Do we live in hell?

They still slam us for Manziel

Catcalls from the Steeler fans

Who think ‘yinz’ give a damn

Christmas with the Browns

Pittsburgh is the town

Where all my neighbors think they live

Without a f*** to give

Wearing black and yellow

Everyone a jolly fellow

You’d think they never played football

Where Lake Erie makes landfall

Christmas with the Browns

My radio turned way down

Listening to ‘The Fan’

A solitary man

Wife is stuck on Netflix

Says sports just make her sick

Grandma says all I do is yell

“Cleveland sports fans live in hell!”

Christmas with the Browns

The Grinch coming around

My tree is trimmed with broken dreams

I’m taking baseball schemes

My dawg bones gather dust

No more in them I trust

Bring on some basketball, my friend

This season’s at an end

Christmas with the Browns

A deal is going down

Beckam may want off the team

I expected him to flee

Baker is a mess

Critics are not impressed

Freddie, good ol’country boy

Can’t hold this shiny toy

Christmas with the Browns

Cleveland is our town

I live up by Lake Erie

Not on the Allegheny

But neighbors, young and old

Brag about “six super bowls”

They think Rooney started time

In 1969

Christmas with the Browns

Points scored are trending down

The Zeitler trade looks like a bust

What’s to become of us?

The Bengals we can beat

Trash teams we can defeat

But otherwise it’s cold out here

Drinking ‘High Life’ beer

Christmas with the Browns

When does soccer come around?

No more talk of football

Orange and brown is off-the-wall

Another hard off-season

Steelers fans engage in treason

The memory of this thing

Will be Myles’ helmet swing

Christmas with the Browns

Friends sing “Send in the clowns!”

Steelers are just jagoffs

They’ll go nowhere in the playoffs

We got Chubb and Hunt

But go three-and-out, then punt

Lose to the duck-caller kid

These dawgs have stepped in s***

Christmas with the Browns

Fans sit, wearing their frowns

We’ll talk of Kosar in his prime

All through the summertime

Then when the season starts

Before they break our hearts

We’ll swing our fists and take a pledge

To bark like dawgs again
