Lyrics
1. We have a ball team in this town that’s known both near and far
And every man that’s in the team has proven himself a star
With Speaker out in center field, and Joe Wood standing in the box
There’s not a team in either league can equal the Red Sox
Chorus
Let’s all up and root for the Red Sox Speed Boys
They like the noise
We like the plays that’s made by Speaker, Joe Wood
Hooper, Lewis, Wagner, Yerkes and Gardner, Stahl
Bill Carrigan how he can catch the ball, Wow!
They are the pennant winners that’s plain to see
Champs they will be
Take it from me that when the world series it is played
They’ll put the nationals in the shade
Let’s root for the Red Sox now
2. We have a bunch of pitchers that are right there with the ball
Ray Collins, Bedient, Buck O’Brien, Larry Pape and Hall
For catcher we have Cady and for second base have Ball
And for first base we have Clyde Engel who can take the place of Stahl
