Lyrics:
We are brave, we are wise
Above all other teams we will rise
We will defend, like days of yore
Paint our faces like we’re off to war

We are the Redskins, we’re the Redskins
And we honor a people so great
Their bravery and their virtue
Are what inspire our name
Some say that our name is an ethnic slur
But we just don’t care, it’s the name we prefer
We are the Redskins, we’re the Redskins
Forever our banner will wave
They won’t shake us, they won’t break us
The Redskins are here to stay

We are strong, we are fast
In your endzone we know how to dance
We’ll make your team, look so pathetic
‘cause we’re naturally very athletic

We are the Blackeys, we’re the Blackeys
We honor a people so great
Their strength and charisma
Are what inspire our name
Some say that our name is an ethnic slur
But we just don’t care, it’s the name we prefer
We are the Blackeys, we’re the Blackeys
Forever our banner will wave
They won’t shake us, they won’t break us
The Blackeys are here to stay

We are smart, the chosen ones
On the field we are second to none
Our mothers, are our biggest fans
Your endzone is our holy land

We are the Jewboys, we’re the Jewboys
We honor a people so great
Their longevity and their smarts
Are what inspire our name
Some say that our name is an ethnic slur
But we just don’t care, it’s the name we prefer
We are the Jewboys, we’re the Jewboys
Forever our banner will wave
They won’t shake us, they won’t break us
The Jewboys are here to stay

We are disciplined, we are fast
We’re especially good at math
We may be little, but we’re nimble
And we’re going to kick your ass

We are the Chinamen, we’re the Chinamen
We honor a people so great
Their potential for world domination
Is what inspires our name
Some say that our name is an ethnic slur
But we just don’t care, it’s the name we prefer
We are the Chinamen, we’re the Chinamen
Forever our banner will wave
They won’t shake us, they won’t break us
The Chinamen are here to stay

We are the Redskins, the Blackeys, the Jewboys the Chinamen
And we honor a people so great
Their bravery, charisma, smarts, discipline
Are what inspire our name
Some say that our name is an ethnic slur
But we just don’t care it’s the name we prefer
We are the Redskins, the Blackeys, the Jewboys the Chinamen
This name controversy’s overblown
We’re not conceding, but we’re leaving
We’re starting a league of our own!
