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".
