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, so come along with us,
For we don’t give a damn for any damn man, who don’t give a damn for us.
Godiva Verses
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>
Said she, “I’ve come a long, long way, I’ll go just as far,
With the man who takes me from this horse, and leads me to a bar.”
The men who took her from her steed, and led her to a beer,
Were a bleary-eyed Surveyor and a drunken Engineer
Godiva woke next morning and she had an awful head,
Decided to be reasonable and spend the day in bed.
The only ones to visit her and bring her lots of cheer,
Were a broken-down Surveyor and a bloodshot Engineer.
Godiva died and where she lay a benchmark marks the spot,
And in any Engineering text, its level can be got.
And up in Heaven, every day Godiva craves for beer,
But she’ll have to wait until the gates let in the Engineers
Final Verses
So now you’ve heard our story and you know we’re engineers,
We hope we didn’t offend anybody with our cheers
But if we get too rowdy then we’ll go disturb the band
So you best be sure we always have a pitcher in our hand
So now you’ve heard our story and you know we’re Engineers,
And when we all shall graduate, we’ll all have great careers.
An Engineer’s starting wage can pull in 60 G’s,
While an Artsie with a Ph.D. can work at Mickey D’s
Now you’ve heard our story and you know we’re Engineers,
We love to hate our problem sets, we love to drink our beers.
We drink to every person who comes here from far and near,
Cause we’re a HELL-OF-A, HELL-OF-A, HELL-OF-A, HELL-OF-A HELL-OF-AN-ENGINEER
