Lady Godiva (We Are the Engineers)
(To the tune of: ?Battle Hymn of the Republic?)
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
Verses
Godiva was a lady, who through Coventry did ride,
To show the local citizens, the colour of her hide,
My father who was standing there, an Engineer of course,
Was the only one that noticed that Godiva rode a horse.
She said, ?I?ve come a long way, and I?ll go so far,
With the man who takes me from this steed, and leads me to the bar?,
The man who took her from her horse, and shouted her a beer,
Was a well-dressed perfect gentleman ? a drunken Engineer.
A maiden and an Engineer were sitting in a park
The Engineer 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
My father was a hunter, practising to shoot,
My mother was a mistress, from a house of ill repute,
The last time I saw them, these words rang in me ears,
Go to Canterbury you Son of a Bitch and join the Engineers
The army and the navy boys went out to have some fun
Down to the local tavern where the fiery liquors run
But all they found were empties for the Engineers had come
And traded all their instruments for gallon kegs of rum
An Arts Student and an Engineer found a gallon can
Said the Arts Student: ?Match me drink for drink let?s see if you're a man?
They drank three drinks, the Arts Student fell, his face was turning green
But the Engineer drank on and said "It's only gasoline"
Caesar set out for Egypt at the age of fifty-three
But Cleopatra?s blood was warm, her heart was young and free
And every time that Caesar said "goodnight" at three o'clock
There was a roman Engineer waiting just around the block
On reading Kama Sutra, a man learned position nine
For proving masculinity it surely was divine
But then one night the girl rebelled and kicked him on his rear
For he was a feeble Arts Student and she was an Engineer
Venus is a statue made entirely of stone
She didn't wear a fig leaf she's as naked as a bone
On noticing her arms were gone an Engineer discoursed
The damn thing's busted concrete and should'a been reinforced
My uncle is a lunatic who lives on the dole
My sister was a prostitute but now she's on parole
My brother owns a restaurant with bedrooms in the rear
But none of them will talk to me 'cause I'm an Engineer
I happened once upon a girl whose eyes were full of fire.
Her physical endowments would have made your hands perspire.
To my surprise she told me that she never had been kissed,
Her boyfriend was a tired Engineering Geologist.
Rapunzel let her hair down to two suitors down below,
So one of them could grab hold and give the old heave-ho
The Prince began to climb at once, but soon came out the worst,
For the Engineer rode up the lift, and reached Rapunzel first
Sir Francis Drake and all his men set sail for Calais Bay
They?d heard the Spanish rum fleet was headed out that way
But the Engineers had beat them, by night and half a day,
And though as drunk as hooligans, you could still hear them say:
Sutherland was a man, who wrote a long report,
On sexual deviation, and other forms of sport,
He said that 66 percent of Canterbury are queers,
The other 33 percent are bloody Engineers.
Charlotte was a lady, with a 42-inch bust,
Structurally unstable, and insecurely trussed,
The council recommended, she be inspected twice a year,
So they sent along a team, of Civil Engineers.
If we should find an Auckland man within our sacred walls,
We?ll take him to the Physics lab and amputate his balls
And if he hollers ?Uncle!?, I?ll tell you what we?ll do
We?ll stuff his ass with broken glass, and seal it up with glue
Late one night, an Engineer was lost in work and toil,
He set off to find a darling girl to help discharge his coil.
In no time at all he?d warmed her up, her resistance at a low?
They fluxed until the morning?s light, when their fuses, they did blow.
An Engineer once stumbled through the aisles of E14
That night he?d drunken rum enough to drown a dozen men
In fact, the only things there were that kept him on his course
Were boundary conditions and the Coriolis force
A man sat in a tavern with a lovely Canterbury lass
And stared when for the nineteenth time she raised and drained her glass
He said ?You?ve out drunk four strong men, and half the bar, my dear.?
But the maiden smiled demurely and said ?I?m an Engineer.?
Fornication copulation, penetration, Fvck
Rim job, reem job, nose job, blowjob, cunnunglingus, suck
Eating beaver, dipping wick, taking it in the rear;
These words don?t mean a thing to me cause I?m an Engineer
At CH, BJ and UniHall there are countless untruths told
About how women Engineers are frigid, strange, and cold.
But truth be told men look for lady Engineers of course
And sleep with women who study friction, motion, stress and force.
An Engineer and his girlfriend were lying on a bed
She reached down to unzip his fly so she could give him head
But when she wouldn?t swallow, the Engineer did shout
?How can you say you love me if you spit my children out!?
An Arts Student and an Engineer were stranded in a boat,
One person too many, though, the poor boat wouldn?t float.
The Engineer would flip a coin to settle the dispute,
So he flipped it in the water and the Arts Student gave pursuit.
An Engineer once came to class so drunk and very late,
He was carrying a load that you?d expect to ship by freight.
The only things that held him up and kept him on his course,
Were the boundary condition and the electromotive force.
Godiva was a lady of that there is no doubt
She didn't wear a stitch of clothes just wrapped her hair about
The first man who did make her was an Engineer, of course,
But on just one beer an arts queer had made Godiva?s horse
So now you've heard our story and you know were Engineers
All like all jolly good fellows we drink our Whiskeys clear,
We drink to every fellow who comes from far and near,
Cause we're a helluva helluva helluva helluva helluvan ENGINEER
