Lyrics

A very, very loose parody set to the traditional "Hang Me, Oh Hang Me" best version By Dave Van Ronk and in the recent film Inside Llewyn Davis by Oscar Isaac.

Tony, oh Tony, it's back to watching RGIII
Tony, oh Tony, it's back to watching RGIII
Everytime he takes a tackle, you know I fear that I might pee
my pants, because his legs are made of glass.

So start up the bandwagon, we might go 7-9
Bridle your optimism, I'm thinking 7-9
And if they fire Gruden, he'll take over PTI
Redskins, your name is not an ethnic slur.

No it's not an ethnic slur.

Got your emails, faxes, and notes.

Very nice. They are really getting into soap opera levels of losing now. And I couldn't be happier due to the song potential.

Love it! Love the song and the jingle. It is so weird now to root for a team and STILL be a little glad when they lose 'cause it means jingles like this ;-)

In my defense, I finished writing this at the bar when it was still 10-0.
