~~~ The Song ~~~ Godiva was a lady who through Coventry did ride, To show to all the villagers her lovely bare white hide; The most observant villager, an Engineer of course, Was the only one to notice that Godiva rode a horse. Chorus: We are, we are, we are, we are, we are the Engineers, We can, we can, we can, we can demolish forty beers, Drink rum, drink rum, drink rum, drink rum, and come along with us; For we don't give a damn for any damn man who don't give a damn for us. I've come a long, long way she said, and I will go as far With the man who takes me off this horse, and leads me to a bar. The men who took her off her stead, and stood her to a bar, Were a bleary-eyed Surveyor and a drunken Engineer. My father was a miner from the Northern Malamute, My mother was a mistress in a house of ill-repute, They kicked me out at a tender age, not shedding any tears, So I said, To Hell with all of them" and joined the Engineers. An artsman and an Engineer once found a gallon can Said the artsman, Match me drink for drink and prove that you're a man. They drank three drinks, the artsman died, his face was turning green, But the Engineer drank on said, It's only gasoline. A maiden and an Engineer were sitting in a park, The Engineer was busy doing research after dark, His scientific method was a marvel to observe, While his right hand wrote the figures, his left hand traced the curves. The army and the navy boys set out to have some fun, Down at the local tavern where the fiery liquids run, But all they found were empties, for the Engineers had come, And traded all their instruments for gallon jugs of rum. Now Venus is a statue made entirely of stone, There's not a fig leaf on her, she's naked as a bone; On noticing her arms were broke, an Engineer discoursed, "Of course the damn thing's broken, it should be reinforced." Sir Francis Drake and all his ships set out for Calais Bay, They heard the Spanish Rum Fleet was heading up that way, But the Engineers had beat them by a night and half a day, 'Though they were gassed completely, you still could hear them say... I happened once upon a maid whose eyes were full of fire, Her physical and endowments would have made your hands perspire, She shocked me when she told me that she never had been kissed, For her boyfriend was a tired Engineering Physicist. Now Caesar went to Egypt at the age of fifty-three, But Cleopatra's blood was warm, her heart was young and free, And every night when Julius said goodnight at three o'clock, There was a Roman Engineer just waiting 'round the block. After reading Kama Sutra, they tried position nine, For proving masculinity it truly was divine. But then one day the girl rebelled and threw him on his rear, For he was a feeble Artsman and she an Engineer. An Engineer once came to school so drunk and ever late, Carrying a load that you'd expect to ship by freight, The only thing that held him up and kept him on his course, Was the boundary condition and electromotive force. My mother peddles opium, my father's on the dole, My sister used to walk the streets, but now she's on parole, My brother runs a restaurant with bedrooms in the rear, But they don't even speak to me 'cause I'm and Engineer. Now you've heard our story and you know we're Engineers, And like all jolly fellows we can down our whiskey clear, We drink to every other guy who comes from far and near, 'Cause we're a hell of a, hell of a, hell of a, hell of a Engineer.
