Tessie (You Are the Only Only Only)
Written by Will R. Anderson,
as adapted by the Royal Rooters
and the Dropkick Murphys

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
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!

"Tessie," "Nuff 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"

"We're not here to mess around

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

The stands at Coors Field shake loudly and strike fear into the hearts of opponents with Queen's "We Will Rock You".

Though I must admit that this was even more effective in old Mile High Stadium's mobile left field stands. :)

Eh. I'm fonder of team songs that really relate to the region, as both Tessie and Dirty Water do, that taking advantage of multiple meanings of a team's name (i.e. "Rockies" has nothing to do with the "Rock" in "We Will Rock You"). But I suppose Rocky Mountain High's a bit wimpy for a crowd song (although the Yankees do well with New York, New York).

May we not have a repeat of the riot of 1912.
