Images of the Royal Rooters singing "Tessie" and of a Rooters' souvenir card are included in a 1903 World Series slideshow prepared by the BPL. The precursors to the "Dar-ryl" chant of 83 years later included these 1903 Boston fan cheers:
Boston, Pittsburg,
Who are we?
We are the rooters for 19-3.
We will win,
Go tell your pa,
We Beaneaters, Beaneaters,
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Five games, five games,
We want five,
We are here and all alive:
Biff! Bang! Bang, bang, bang!
Zim! Zam! Zam, zam, zam!
