Tessie [*]

Tessie is the Royal Rooters rally cry Tessie is the tune they always sung Tessie echoed April through October nights After serenading Stahl, Dineen and Young Tessie is a maiden with the sparkling eyes Tessie is a maiden with the love She doesn't know the meaning of her sight She's got a comment full of love And sometimes when the game is on the line Tessie always carried them away Up the road from Third Base to Huntington The boys will always sing and sway Two! Three! Four! Tessie, Nuff Ced McGreevy shouted We're not here to mess around Boston, you know we love you madly Hear the crowd roar to your sound Don't blame us if we ever doubt you You know we couldn't live without you Tessie, you are the only, only, only The Rooters showed up at the Grounds one day They found their seats had all been sold McGreevy led the charge into the park Stormed the gates and put the game on hold The Rooters gave the other team a dreadful fright Boston's tenth man could not be wrong Up from Third Base to Huntington They sang another victory song Two! Three! Four! Tessie, Nuff Ced McGreevy shouted We're not here to mess around Boston, you know we love you madly Hear the crowd roar to your sound Don't blame us if we ever doubt you You know we couldn't live without you Tessie, you are the only, only, only The Rooters gave the other team a dreadful fright Boston's tenth man could not be wrong Up from Third Base to Huntington They sang another victory song Two! Three! Four! Tessie, Nuff Ced McGreevy shouted We're not here to mess around Boston, you know we love you madly Hear the crowd roar to your sound Don't blame us if we ever doubt you You know we couldn't live without you Tessie, you are the only, only, only Don't blame us if we ever doubt you You know we couldn't live without you Boston, you are the only, only, only Don't blame us if we ever doubt you You know we couldn't live without you Red Sox, you are the only, only, only
