WE ARE THE ENGINEERS S. 107

Sir Fracís Drake and all his crew
set sail for Galway Bay
to meet the Spanish Rumfleet,
that was heading buy the way.
The engineers gave cut them short
by a night and half a day.
Although they’re drunk like hooligans,
you still can hear them say.

We are, we are, we are, we are the engineers …

Godiva was a lady
that through Coventry did ride
to show to all the villagers
her skin so pure and white.
The most observing man in town,
an engineer of course,
Was the only one that noticed
that Godiva road a a hoarse.

We are, we are, we are, we are the engineers …

‘I’ve come a long way’, she said,
’a man may go as far.
And get me off this bloody horse
and lead me to the bar!’
The man that get her off her horse
and stood with her to beer,
Were a bloodshoteyed surveyor
and a drunken engineer.

We are, we are, we are, we are the engineers …
