Tessie is the Royal Rooters rally cry Tessie is the tune they always sung Tessie echoed April through October nights After serenading Stahl, Dinneen and Young Tessie is a maiden with a sparkling eye Tessie is a maiden with a 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, "Nuf Ced" McGreevey 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 McGreevey 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'd sing another victory song
Two! Three! Four!
