Jack Horntip Lyr Add: We are the Engineers (24) RE: Lyr Add: We are the Engineers 17 May 25


LADY GODIVA

Godiva was a lady who through Coventry did ride,
To show the royal villages her fine and pure white hide.
The most observant man of all, an engineer of course
Was the only man who noticed 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.

She said, "I've come a long, long way and I will go as far
With the man who takes from me his horse and leads me to a bar
the man who too her from her steed and led her to a bar,
Was a bleary eyed survivor and drunken engineer.

My father was a miner from the northern malamute,
My mother was a mistress of a house of ill repute,
The last time I saw them, these words rang in my ears,
Go to MIT you son of a B_____ and join the engineers.

The Army and the Navy went out to have some fun,
They went down to the taverns where fiery liquors run,
But all they found where empties for the engineers had come,
And traded all their instruments for gallon kegs of rum.

Sir Francis Drake and all his ships set out for Calais way,
They heard that the Spanish rum fleet was headed out there way,
[ - - - - Two lines over typed and ineligible - - - ]

Venus was a statue made entirely of stone,
Without a stitch upon her, she as naked as a bone,
On seeing that she had no clothes an engineer discoursed,
why the damn thing's only concrete and should be reinforced.

Princeton's run by Wellesly, Wellesley's run by Yale,
Yale is run by Vassar; and Vassar'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!!!!!

If e should find a Harvard man within our sacred walls,
We'll take him up to physics lab and amputate his balls,
And if he hollars Uncle, I'll tell you what we'll do,
We'll stuff his ass with broken glass and seal it up with glue.

MIT was MIT when Harvard was a pup,
And Mit will be MIT when Harvard's busted up
And any Harvard son of a bitch who thinks he's in our class,
Can pucker up his rosy lips and kiss the beaver's ass.

A maiden and an engineer were sitting in the park,
The engineer was working on some research after dark.
His scientific method was a marvel to observe,
While his right hand wrote the figures, his left hand traced the curves.
