Classics
We were drunk at Ollie’s when we should have been in class,
The artsies were in Rooster’s taking commies up the ass
They came down to start a fight and take away our beer
So we killed them all, don’t fuck with us, cause we’re the engineers!
Adaptations
My father was a miner in the Northern Malamute
My mother was a hostess in a house of ill-repute
They kicked me out at age 18 for drinking all the beer
They said “go to Carleton, you son of a bitch, and join the engineers!”
A civil engineer was out so drunk and very late,
He stumbled through Mackenzie Quad and didn’t stumble straight,
The only things that kept him up and kept him on his course
Were the boundary conditions and electromotive force
Some Engineers from Carleton got loaded on a bus,
The driver took them to a town a long, long way from us.
They drank the local tavern dry and went to look for more,
When they couldn’t find another bar, they stormed the liquor store!
I’m graduating Aero and I feel I have to pout
There still is one thing in this world I’ve yet to figure out
It’s something Aero dropouts seem to pick up from the Mechs
Apparently it’s pleasurable, I’ve heard they call it sex!
New Wave
22 is ugly and Nicol should be knocked down
Steacie and Azreili should be rubble on the ground
Loeb’s a hazard, Tory’s old, and Southam is too far
But put one hand on Mackenzie and we’ll break your fucking arm
Mackenzie was surrounded and the castle siege was planned
Upstairs is where the president would make his/her/their final stand
With Battlehammer ready, he/she/they would never meet his/her/their foe,
For they couldn’t find the entrance and got lost a floor below
The engineering buildings at uOttawa are bland
But Mackenzie here at Carleton is best in all the land
A Geegee snuck inside her thinking nothing could go wrong
So we tied him up in Minto and we made him kiss the gong
Aaron’s Verses
We are, we are, we are, we are the Astro engineers
We may, we may, we may not have a job for 30 years
All the coolest classes can be taken in our stream
But when looking at the industry, the D just stands for “dream”
Aerostructures, Avionics, Reco, Payload, Prop
Our bank accounts are empty and our GPAs have dropped
We don’t know what we’re doing, but still twice a week we meet
To figure how to get our bullshit up to thirty thousand feet
