The Browns, they are from Cleveland
but thereby hangs a tale:
the owner moved them to Baltimore\u2014
a team that wasn\u2019t for sale.
The Browns, they are from Cleveland
but thereby hangs a tale:
the loyalest fans in the world\u2014
received a kick in the tail, cause
the owner moved them to Baltimore\u2014
a team that wasn\u2019t for sale.<\/p>\n

He said a few short months before
(It must have been a dream):
“I\u2019ll never move the team,” he lied!
“There\u2019d never be such a scheme,” he lied!
“As long as I own the team,” he lied!
“I\u2019ll never move the team,”
\u2018Twas all just mirrors and steam!
\u2018Cause now we know what lying
and money-grubbing thing
that Art Modell was trying,
and so to him we sing:
Go to hell!
Go to hell!
To hell! To hell! To hell!
Go directly to hell Art Modell!
Go to hell \/ Art Modell!
Go to hell \/ Art Modell!
Go to hell!!<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

For taking our Browns you will fry!
fry!\u2014\u2014\u2014
O sad goodbye, our feelings high
for years gone by.
Our team has flown, the dog sans bone,
fans all alone, Oh, hear our moan!
So much for that, now we say.
The team is Art\u2019s, he can take it and run away.
Cleveland\u2019s not to be had!
We\u2019ll get even not mad!
We\u2019re playing football today!
Today! We\u2019re playing football today!
Today! We\u2019re playing football today!
No! No! No!
Nobody can take our mem\u2019ries
of Graham, Kosar, and Sipe.
Our pride is intact
O Art, that\u2019s a fact
and we laugh at you and your type: ha! ha!
Now that our Browns are back
we’ll kick your greedy butts.
Forever you\u2019ll lose\u2014
it\u2019s only your dues\u2014
and Baltimore will go nuts: ha! ha!
Their governor crying, “Aw shucks!” ha! ha!
All for a few measly bucks!
Ha!-ha!-ha! Ha!
Ha!-ha!-ha! Ha!
Bow! wow! wow!<\/td>\n		\u00a0<\/td>\n\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
