[Vision2020] MIT Fight Songs (just for kicks)

[Tom Hansen]

Yes.  MIT still has a football team and a fight song.  Copied and pasted
below from the MIT Athletic website are the new and old MIT fight songs.

The current MIT Fight Song

"I'm a Beaver, you're a Beaver, we are Beavers all. 
And when we get together, we do the Beaver call. 
E to the U du dx, 
E to the X dx. 
Cosine, secant, tangent, sine, 3.14159. 
Integral radical mu dv 
Slipstick, sliderule, MIT. 
Go Tech!"

The OLD MIT Fight Song

Godiva was a lady who through Coventry did ride
To show the royal villagers her fine and pure white hide 
The most observant man of all, an engineer of course, 
Was the only one 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 all day, and come along 
with us 'Cause we don't give a damn for any old 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 me from this horse and leads me to a bar 
The man who took her from her steed and lead her to a beer 
Was a bleary-eyed surveyor and a drunken engineer 

(Chorus)

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 held the figures, his left hand traced the curves 

(Chorus)

Princeton's run by Wellesley, and Wellesley's run by Yale 
And Yale is run by Vassar, and Vassar's run by tail 
Harvard's run by stiff pricks, the kind you raise by hand 
But M.I.T. is run by Engineers, the finest in the land 

(Chorus)

MIT was MIT when Harvard was a pup 
And MIT will be MIT when Harvard's time is 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 

(Chorus)

An MIT surveyor once found the gates of Hell 
He looked the devil in the eye, and said "You're looking well" 
The devil looked right back at him, and said "Why visit me -
You've been through Hell already; you went to MIT!" 

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 all day, and come along with us 
'Cause we don't give a damn for any old man who don't give a damn for us!
