Godiva was a lady who through Coventry did ride
|
|
To show to the royal villagers her fair and pure white hide.
|
|
The most observant man of all, an engineer of course,
|
|
Was the only man 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 run, drink rum all day and come along with us.
|
|
For we don't give a damn for any old man who don't give a damn for us!
|
|
|
|
An artsman and an Engineer once found a gallon can,
|
|
Said the artsman ``Match me drink for drink, let's see if you're a man.''
|
|
They drank three drinks, the artsman falls, 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 night when Julius said goodnight at three o'clock,
|
|
There was a Roman engineer waiting just around the block!
|
|
|
|
An engineer once staggered in though the Roderick Gate,
|
|
He was carrying a load you would expect to ship by freight.
|
|
The only thing that kept him upright and on his course,
|
|
Were the boundary conditions and the coriolis force.

The Ballad of 5.60
|
|
(To the tune of ``The Battle Hymn of the Republic'')
|
|
|
|
Free energy and entropy were whirling in his brain
|
|
With partial differentials and greek letters in their train
|
|
While delta, sigma, gamma, theta, epsilon and pi
|
|
Were driving him distracted as they danced before his eye.
|
|
|
|
CHORUS:
|
|
|
|
Glory, glory dear old thermo
|
|
Glory, glory dear old thermo
|
|
Glory, glory dear old thermo,
|
|
We'll pass you by and by.
|
|
|
|
Heat, Content, and fugacity revolved within his brain
|
|
Like molecules and atoms that you never have to name.
|
|
And logarithmic functions doing cakewalks in his dreams,
|
|
And partial molar quantities devouring chocolate creams.
|
|
|
|
They asked him on the final if a mole of any gas
|
|
In a vessel with a membrane through which Hydrogen could pass
|
|
Were compressed to half its volume what the entropy would be
|
|
If two-thirds delta-sigma equalled half of delta-P.
|
|
|
|
He said he guessed the entropy would have to equal four
|
|
Unless the second law should bring it up a couple more
|
|
But then, it might be seven if the Carnot law applied,
|
|
Or it might be almost zero if the delta-T should slide.
|
|
|
|
The professor read his paper with a corrugated brow.
|
|
For he knew he'd have to grade it and he didn't quite know how
|
|
'Til an inspiration in his cerebellum suddenly smote,
|
|
And he seized his trusty fountain pen and this is what he wrote:
|
|
|
|
Just as you have guessed the entropy, I'll have to guess your grade,
|
|
But the second law won't raise it to the mark you might have made.
|
|
For it might have been a 100 if your guesses all were good,
|
|
But I think it must be zero 'till they're rightly understood.
|
|
|
|
Glory, glory dear old thermo
|
|
Glory, glory dear old thermo,
|
|
Glory, glory dear old thermo,
|
|
We'll try again next term.
