Christmas has arrived early for Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles fans. 

A "Philly Special Christmas" album from "The Philly Specials" aka Jason Kelce, Jordan Mailata, and assorted Eagles teammates will be officially released on Dec. 1. However, we got an early taste of the album, including a special song featuring Chiefs TE Travis Kelce and brother Jason. 

The song is an iteration of The Pogues' "Fairytale of New York" and is aptly named "Fairytale of Philadelphia." There are a few alterations to the song, mainly making it about the Kelce brothers fighting drunkenly on Christmas. Travis Kelce even called his brother a Jabroni. 

Check out the song and lyrics below:

Here are the slightly altered lyrics: 

[Verse 1] – Jason

It was Christmas Eve again
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me
"Won't see another one"
And then he sang a song
'The Rare Old Mountain Dew'
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you
Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen-to-one I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So, Happy Christmas
I love you, brother
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true

[Verse 2] – Travis & Jason

They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you;
It's no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me Broadstreet
Was waiting for me

You were handsome!

You were pretty

You were the king of south Philly

When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
The leathers were swinging
All the drunks, they were singing
We fought on a corner
Then danced through the night

[Chorus] 

The sound of The Silver Ages choir all singing"Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out for Christmas day

[Verse 3] – Jason and Travis

You's a lush
You're a crumb bum
You smell like some old scum
Washed up from the Schuylkill and rotting away
You dirtbag, you phony, you lousy jabroni
Happy Christmas, you ass, I pray God it's our last

[Chorus]

The sound of The Silver Ages choir all singing"Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out for Christmas day

[Bridge] – Jason & Travis

I could have been someone
Well, so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When Mom first had you
I kept them with me, Jas'
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you

[Chorus]

The sound of The Silver Ages choir all singing"Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out for Christmas day

Honestly, this is the perfect song to debut ahead of the Chiefs-Eagles Week 11 matchup coming on "Monday Night Football."
