We are, we are, we are, we are, we are the Engineers,
We can, we can, we can, we can demolish 40 beers.
Drink rum, drink rum, drink rum, drink rum, and come along with us,
For we don't give a damn for any old man who don't give a damn about us.
Godiva was a lady who through coventry did ride.
To show to all the villagers her lovely lilly white hide.
The most observant villager, an Engineer of course,
Was the only one that noticed that Godiva road a horse.
Chorus:
We are, we are, we are, we are, we are the Engineers,
We can, we can, we can, we can demolish 40 beers.
Drink rum, drink rum, drink rum, drink rum, and come along with us,
For we don't give a damn for any old man who don't give a damn about us.
I've come a long, long way she said, and I will go as far,
With the man who takes me off this horse, and leads me to a bar.
The men who took her of her stead, and stood her to a beer,
Were a bleary-eyed Surveyor and a drunken Engineer.
Chorus
An Artsman and an Engineer once found a gallon can.
Said the Artsman, "Match me drink for drink and prove that you're a man."
They drank three drinks, the Artsman died, his face was turning green.
But the Engineer drank on and said, "It's only gasoline"!
Chorus
A maiden and an Engineer were sitting in a park,
The Engineeer was busy doing research after dark,
His scientific method was a marvel to observe,
While his right hand wrote the figures, his left hand traced the curves.
Chorus
The Army and the Navy boys set out to have some fun,
Down at the local tavern where the firely liquids run,
But all they found were empties, for the Engineers had come,
And traded in their instruments for gallon kegs of rum.
Chorus
Now Venus is statue made entirely of stone,
There's not a fig leaf on her, she's as naked as a bone;
On noticing her arms were broke, an Engineer discoursed,
Of the course the damn thing's broke, it should be reinforced.
Chorus
Sir Francis Drake and all his ships set out for Calais Bay,
They hear the Spanish Rum Fleet was heading up that way,
But the Engineers had beat them by a night and half a day,
Though they were gassed completely, you still could hear them say.....
Chorus
I happened once upon a maid whose eyes were full of fire,
her physical endowments would have made your hands perspire,
She shocked us when she told that she never had been kissed,
For her boyfriend was a tired Engineering Physicist.
Chorus
After reading Kama Sutra, they tried position number 9,
For proving masculinity, it truly was divine.
But then one day the girl rebelled and threw him on his rear,
For he was a feable Artsie and she an Engineer.
Chorus
Now Caeser went to egypt at the age of fifty-three,
But Cleopatra's blood was warm, her heart was young and free,
And every night when Julius said goodnight at three o'clock,
There was a Roman Engineer just waiting 'round the block.
Chorus
An Engineering one came to school so drunk and very late,
Carry a load that you'd expect to ship by freight,
The only things that held him up and kept him on his course,
Were a boundary condition and the electromotive force.
Chorus
My mother peddles opium, my father's on the dole,
My sister used to walk the streets, but now she's on parole,
My brother runs a restaurant with bedrooms in the rear,
But none of them will talk to me 'cause I'm an Engineer.
Chorus
Rapunzel let her hair down for two suitors down below,
So one of them could grab a hold and give the old heave-ho.
The prince began to climb at once, but soon he came out worst,
For the Engineer rode up a lift, and reached Rapunzel first.
Chorus
Now you've heard our story and you know we're Engineers,
And like all jolly fellows we drink our whiskeys clear.
"Cause we're HELL-OF-A, HELL-OF-A, HELL-OF-A, HELL-OF-A, HELL-OF-A engineers!
