Ben Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Dont know if this has been posted before...just found it over on bengals.com "Bengals Growl" Fight Song George Bird was a close friend to Paul E. Brown, founder of the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals. When Paul Brown started the Cleveland Browns he asked his friend, George Bird, to be his Entertainment Director and he accepted. George had a 14-piece band call Bird’s Band and his band played live at all the home games. When Paul came to Cincinnati to form the Bengals, once again he asked George to be the Entertainment Director for the Bengals. Once again he accepted. George at some point became ill and was hospitalized. He was quite unhappy that he was in the hospital, so while lying in bed he jokingly decided to write a song titled “Bengals Growl.†Today the "Bengals Growl" fight song continues to be popular among Bengals fans young and old. [i] Hear that Bengal growlin' mean and angry Hear he comes a prowlin' lean and hungry An offensive brute Run, pass or boot And defensively he's rough, tough Cincinnati Bengals That's the team we're going to cheer to victory Touchdown Bengals get some points upon that board And win a game for Cincinnati [/] [url="http://bengals.com/2004misc/bengals.wma"]http://bengals.com/2004misc/bengals.wma[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
