I could find the good things in this city, but all I see is just pity.

People full of mighty glum, and still our sports teams haven't won a Championship since '61, I hate Cleveland.

Our lake's full of dirty things, I would not suspect a thing, but still I think I will sing 'I hate Cleveland'.

I'd rather have the best location in the nation. But all we get's a mistake on the lake.

Here comes Kooch now, girls and boys, ruined our town oh what joy! He won't eat meat, only soy. I hate Cleveland!

Spoken: And I also hate Ohio, Buffalo, and Detroit too! I can't stand this!

We have the Rock Hall-of-Fame, but that place is full of shame. While they play their little game. I hate Cleveland.

There's the river, it's on fire. Our taxes just got higher, so now you can't retire. I hate Cleveland!

Why can't this town be like the when we had Millionaire's Row? Now we only shrink instead of grow.

One day this town won't be here, there's not even a next year. So just cry in your cold beer, I hate Cleveland!
