Let’s have a ball at Faneuil Hall – we love the Olde Towne Team
Take the Green Line to the Citgo sign – we love the Olde Towne Team
Kenmore Square you’re almost there – we love the Olde Towne Team
We’ll see them play, 4 Yawkey Way – we love the Olde Towne Team

Oh The Kid, Yaz, RemDawg, Pedey, Youk, and Wake
Oh Big Papi, Gonzo, Tito takes the cake

Now we’re here, we all will cheer – we love the Old Towne Team
Our chowder’s mean, we like our beans – but we love the Olde Towne Team

Hear the ump call “Let’s play ball!” – we love the Old Towne Team
All our eyes stay hypnotized – we love the Old Towne Team
Stretch seventh inning; yeah, we’re winning – we love the Old Towne Team
Get some beer while it’s still here – we love the Old Towne Team

Olde Towne fans are singing “Sweet Caroline”
Then ol’ Pap ships up to Boston in the ninth

Drink Harpoon and sing a tune – we love the Old Towne Team
“Wicked cool game!” the fans exclaim – we love the Old Towne Team
