Rudolph the black and yellow Steeler

Had a very shiny throw.

And if you ever saw it

You would even say go GO!

All of the other coaches

Used to laugh and call him names.

They never let poor Rudolph

join in any football games.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve Eve

Tomlin came to say

Rudolph with your throw so on point

won’t you guide my offense tonight?

Then how the coaches loved him

and they shouted out with glee

Rudolph the black and yellow Steeler

You’ll go down in yinzer history.
