Correction. The singer of "Battle Hymn of the Engineers above is an American." The Engineers Drinking Song Well, 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 all day And come along with us, For we don’t give a damn for any old man Who don’t give a damn for us. Well, Godiva was a lady, Who through the town did ride, With nothing but her long black hair To cover up her hide. And when the show was over, An engineer of course Was the only one to notice That Godiva rode a horse. [chorus] Well Smith is run by Wellesley, And Wellesley’s run by Yale. Yale is run by Radcliffe, And Radcliffe’s run by tail. Harvard’s run by stiff pricks, The kind you raise by hand, But Tech is run by engineers, The finest in the land. [chorus] Transcribed from the youtube video uploaded Aug 31, 2019. He learned this song the very first night at MIT in 1971. The tune is the "Rambling Wreck".
