[Piano Intro]
F Bb F

Bb
Tessie is the Royal Rooters rally cry
F
Tessie is the tune they always sung
F
Tessie echoed April through October nights
      Bb                            F
After serenading Stahl, Dinneen and Young
Bb
Tessie is a maiden with a sparkling eye
F
Tessie is a maiden with a love
F
She doesn't know the meaning of her sight
Bb                          F
She's got a comment full of love

[Bagpipe solo]
Bb F F Bb F

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!

[Chorus]
Bb
Tessie, Nuff Said McGreevy shouted
Eb
We're not here to mess around
Bb                  F
Boston, you know we love you madly
         Bb                 F
Hear the crowd roar to your sound
Bb
Don't blame us if we ever doubt you
Eb
You know we couldn't live without you
F                               Bb    F                 
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!

[Chorus]
Tessie, Nuff Said 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!

[Chorus]
Tessie, Nuff Said 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

[Piano solo]
Bb F F Bb F

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

Hey! hey! hey!
