Subject: be an engineer From: archbald@udel.edu Date: 02 Dec 97 - 12:05 PM Pete Seeger (I think it was him) once sang a song that had a phrase in it... "I wanna be an engineer.." I'm trying to find the lyrics, and if possible a way to hear the song again to refresh my memory of its melody/chords. I recall it being sort of satirical. My brother in-law is an engineer and about to be wed. I want to sing it at the rehearsal dinner. It's possible it's a Malvina Reynolds song, but I'm not sure. It's probably a 60s song. I realize this isn't much to go by. Any help out there? Doug |

Subject: RE: be an engineer From: dick greenhaus Date: 02 Dec 97 - 04:14 PM Pete sang it too; Peggy wrote it; it's in the DT database. Search for engineer |

Subject: RE: be an engineer From: RS Date: 04 Dec 97 - 12:27 AM Don't apologise Bruce O., if you hadn't posted your note I might never have known about the Peggy Seeger website - or her upcoming book, which I will now watch out for! |
