This was one of my favorite cadences while at 12B (Combat Engineer) AIT. It always sent chills down my spine whenever my company would hum while our Drill Sergeant would say his lines. The actual cadence is a whole lot different than this version of course but it’s still amazing. Sappers lead the way!
As a Ex Sapper of the Royal Engineers (Britain) in the 1950's this was quite a Gentle version, and soothing. If you want the Original Version just have a look on UA-cam at 55 Squadron Royal Engineers, Drinking Song.!! 👍😊
I may not be a combat engineer, but this hymn gets me through engineering school when times get tough. You combat engineers are awesome, thank you for your service!
I learned this song when I was 12 years old playing D&D at MIT on Sundays at Walker Memorial. BTW, the drinking age was 18 in Massachusetts until 1982ish so the overwhelming number of students there could drink from day 1.
chris blair so true mate only reason I was here because my dad was an Engineer I took the infantryman road but was trying to find the version he told me. This one sounds so wrong
Gordon Parker yeah i was looking to find if any aussies had posted them singing, theres alot of yank ones but then I saw this and was like, what the fuck?
chris blair I only know the first part of it. 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, because we don't give a fuck for any other cunt who don't give a fuck for us!
It sounds like the attitude to assume the other party doesn’t care. If you make any statement against another group, reverse the roles and see if you come out sounding like the asshole. Being younger doesn’t give you a moral pass to judger other people.
Godiva was a lady who through Coventry did ride, To show to all the villagers her fair and and pure white hide. The most observant man of all, an engineer of course, was the the only one who noticed Godiva rode a horse.
An arts man, and an engineer once found a gallon can. Said The artsman match me drink for drink. We’ll see if you’re a man. He took three drinks the artsman fell his face was turning green and the engineer drink on and said it’s only gasoline!
@@kennethye4374 yes, let the kids sing.. they will join big corporatation, live on, make big $$$ and design weapon and toy wich might or might not keep the combat engineers alive
Did the one girl in the front not get the memo about the dress for the performance? It's obvious she tried to look nice as possible but still, a tank top and short shorts when the rest are in nice dresses and suits? Ouch.
Real engineers? You are joing now right? I have "combat engineers" stationed in my hometown, they are a big fucking joke. Too stupid to be a real engineer, far to unfit to be a real soldier.
The army would have been ashes by now if it weren't for the Combat Engineers, the air force wouldn't even have their airbases, the marines wouldn't have firebases, no ports for the navy, the coast guard is a joke so I'm not going to talk about them
Embarrassing, perhaps, but if you are already wasted, you might not give a fig. (What is that catterwalling noise in the room, for the love of God?) As for the dress code, I would go straight for the tank top and short shorts. Sign me Dennis, Ft. Belvoir Corps of Engineers Officer Candidate School Regiment, Class 22-H-69, August 8, 1969 (before most of you readers were born), Republic of Vietnam 1971-1972.
How can 305 people have liked this? It's a disgrace to military engineers. Not only do they steal the engineer's drinking song (used all over the world, from America to Canada and U.K) but promote the university in the song as well. I'm no military engineer myself, but I'm and engineer in training and love the engineer's drinking song.
Don't mess with the Royal Engineers song, my late Grandfather and my Father were Royal Engineers or Sappers as they are commonly known . And what you are singing is not the original song, have a look at the video of the drinking song.
If also like to add to my last comment, the battle hymn of the Engineers is traditional and reminds us of who we are and the pride we have. What you have done to this hymn is completely disgraceful. You all would not be able to make it one day as a combat engineer.
Funny how so many schools are trying to claim this song in the comments. Y'all do not deserve this song. This is for the real engineers, the Combat Engineers. Essayons! Here is the real thing - ua-cam.com/video/QMVVCG4WnwM/v-deo.html
Bravi. Wanna do this even better? Simply perform this song without someone waving a virtual baton at you throughout. It's distracting. Just watch each other for a more musical result, okay?
Thanks for Destroying what was already perfected by us TRUE ENGINEERS.... We are, we are, we are, we are, we are the Engineers. We can, we can, we can, we can demolish 40 beers. Drink up, drink up, drink up, drink up and come along with us Cause we dont give a damn about any old man who dont give a damn about us! My father was a miner in the upper Malamute My mother was a hostess in a house of ill repute. They kicked me out of house and home, but in my tender years So I told em all to go to hell and joined the Engineers! Godiva was a lady who through Coventry did ride. Showing all the villagers her lovely lilly hide. The most observant fellow was a Engineer of course, Hes the only one that noticed that Godiva rode a horse! (Chorus) “I’ve come a long long way” she said, “and go as long and far” With the man who’ll help me off my horse and to a bar. The men who helped her off her horse and stood her to a beer, Were a bleary eyed suveyor and a drunken Engineer! (chorus) A tanker and a Engineer were drinkin from a can, The tanker to the Engineer “Out drink me if you can!”. The tanker took one drink and then he started turning green, But the Engineer kept drinking it was only gasoline! (chorus) The Air Force and the Navy came to town to have some fun, Down into the taverns where the fiery liquors run. But all they found was broken glass, the Engineers had come. The traded junk filled demo bags for gallon kegs of rum! (chorus) Now Venus was a statue made entirely of stone. Not a fig leaf on her, she was naked to the bone. And seeing that her arms were gone, two Engineers discoursed, “Of course the damn things broken,and it should be reinforced” (chorus) Ceaser went to Egypt at the age of 53, Cleopatra’s blood was warm,her heart was young and it was free But every night when Julie left the house at 3 o’clock, There was a Roman Engineer awaiting just around the block! (chorus) Sir Francis Drake and all his men set out for Misery Bay, They heard the Spanish Rum Fleet was a headin’ out that way. But the Engineers had bet them by a night and half a day, And though as drunk as hooligans you could still here them say (chorus) We lay down all their roling roads,we cut down all their trees And if the orders ever come, we’d forge the raging seas. When ever they want to sleep a while, we put them up a town, And we build the blasted bridges so the Infantry wont drown! (chorus) We put them over rivers and across the mountains streems, Do everything but tuck them in, and wish them pleasant dreams. When the goings really tough, and bombs do burst their ears, The whole divisions quick to say, “GOD SEND THE ENGINEERS!” (chorus) We build and blow your bridges and fix your roads up, too. There aren’t too many things in life an Engineer cant do. You never seem to need us till your minds are full of fear, Then the first thing that you call for are the Combat Engineer (chorus) We build and guard your barriers, we build your bunkers too. And each and every we prove what Engineers can do. For in the thick of every fight, the cry has been for years, “Come clear the path, save our ass, you Combat Engineers!!!”
Is there a recording of this version? Not an engineer myself (I'm dyslexic so I can't read detailed specs well enough to make them work), so I'm glad there are people far smarter than I am who can make them work.
There are more chicks in this chorus then there were in my entire Engineering class.
There was only one young lady in my Engineering class. That was between 1961 and 1965. I had a deprived childhood. 😭
"Son, how are the girls in your class?"
"Yeah, their both nice"
This was one of my favorite cadences while at 12B (Combat Engineer) AIT. It always sent chills down my spine whenever my company would hum while our Drill Sergeant would say his lines. The actual cadence is a whole lot different than this version of course but it’s still amazing. Sappers lead the way!
Many Sappers are sad. Thanks MIT
As a Ex Sapper of the Royal Engineers (Britain) in the 1950's this was quite a Gentle version, and soothing. If you want the Original Version just have a look on UA-cam at 55 Squadron Royal Engineers, Drinking Song.!! 👍😊
The R.E. and Commonwealth Sapper's will teach the real song !Chimo!
Hahaha! Excellent! As an engineer, I do shop at Sears and can certainly demolish forty beers! :D
I may not be a combat engineer, but this hymn gets me through engineering school when times get tough. You combat engineers are awesome, thank you for your service!
Pink Wings thank you for your support
You are most welcome!
I've got a recording and have done a little searching and this is by far the tamest of the verses..
Okay, I read the comments and was thinking, "lighten up"... and then I listened to it.
I learned this song when I was 12 years old playing D&D at MIT on Sundays at Walker Memorial. BTW, the drinking age was 18 in Massachusetts until 1982ish so the overwhelming number of students there could drink from day 1.
Oh my gosh this made me laugh SO HARD. This is too good.
ESSAYONS!!!! Engineers lead the way!
come drink with some combat engineers a find out how to sing and drink
chris blair agreed and I'm an infantryman!
Gordon Parker they dont even have a beer in their hands while singing. not sure if they have even had a beer before haha
chris blair so true mate only reason I was here because my dad was an Engineer I took the infantryman road but was trying to find the version he told me. This one sounds so wrong

As an old Sapper this makes me happy. Well done!
Me too. Never heard it this way.
Can I hear the real version? It would sound pretty cool I think.
2:50 is my LIFE
These comments are hilarious
Class of 1978, Course XVIII here. The lyrics, other than the chorus, have changed a lot since my time. Of course, we had far fewer coeds.
damn civilians
like the vocal harmonies .
I cried Sapper tears of sadness 😓
Why yes, we do. Good job!
"'Cause we don't give a damn for any old man who don't give a damn for us!"
So damn right...
It sounds like the attitude to assume the other party doesn’t care. If you make any statement against another group, reverse the roles and see if you come out sounding like the asshole. Being younger doesn’t give you a moral pass to judger other people.
ExMachina70
That song is like a hundred years old.
@@dawnofjustice4689 So they revitalized an asshole song from 100 years ago....nice.
at least there is a REAL engineer here who understands that this has been stolen, and destroyed, where the hell is the loud gruffness
What the actual fuck, Combat engineers or not at all.
I LOVE THIS
Great song! Good job! (My late brother was class of '79.)
I remember being in the barracks and everyone totally plastered and we would sing this song :,) - Aco 37th engineers lead the way
U mean 35th? Asshole assassins
@@malcolmedavison8482 no, talking about 2nd brigade at the 82nd abn
In Canada we call this Godvia's Hymn. Lyrics are a bit different, but close.
Why are my ears bleeding! This is unholy!
dude... do you even chimo?
well done EXCEPT they missed the famous verse about Lady Godiva!!!
Godiva was a lady who through Coventry did ride,
To show to all the villagers her fair and and pure white hide.
The most observant man of all, an engineer of course,
was the the only one who noticed Godiva rode a horse.
They also skipped the verse about who the chorus is made up of
@@immaleaf4964 please post it :)
@@PeggyfromPorcupine I can't I'd get banned
@@PeggyfromPorcupine Sorry, not this chorus, but the army chorus
was there got the t shirt sang the song this is nice ...
it didn't sound like that in Fort Leonard Wood
Essayons!!!
Sappers Lead the Way!!!
awesome time at cpw
This is very different to The Engineer’s Song I learned at the Rugby club
This kind of sounds like Rambling' Wreck (GT's fight song), but it's still fun.
So did the Army Combat Engineers steal the song from MIT or vice versa?
Toooooo good!
HAHA, love it
So is this an original US Engineer or Uk
An arts man, and an engineer once found a gallon can. Said The artsman match me drink for drink. We’ll see if you’re a man. He took three drinks the artsman fell his face was turning green and the engineer drink on and said it’s only gasoline!
As an Engineer I think I speak for most of us when I say that the 142 dislikes are most likely from us xD
As a combat engineer. This is not right
shame on you , and i was looking up to MIT ...
The proper version ua-cam.com/video/mwSOWnr_XzU/v-deo.htmlsi=NL_NovNw3nSNBmRD
Who arranged this?
As a current combat engineer this perfectly portrays my reaction: 😐😐
Same brother really irritates me
@@josiahdawahoya6265 From where I'm sitting it sounds like you're giving a damn for someone who don't give a damn for you.
@@kennethye4374 yes, let the kids sing.. they will join big corporatation, live on, make big $$$ and design weapon and toy wich might or might not keep the combat engineers alive
God for a link of boing boing only 1265 views, that will change,.
Wow la la la
Nice job, Chorallaries! You do me proud.
- Your Friendly Arranger
@kkfin81
Who stole it from Georgia Tech.
Combat Engineers sing it a million times better!! Gonna go stop set chord to myself and see what happens
proudly stolen from the combat engineers
Too bad the video/ audio sync is off. :)
Thank God I was in when women were only in HHC.
Did the one girl in the front not get the memo about the dress for the performance? It's obvious she tried to look nice as possible but still, a tank top and short shorts when the rest are in nice dresses and suits? Ouch.
None of them would make it past 5 or 8 mile hill, my soul is crying
No way they’ll pass out looking at the steep 6mile hill
Yeahhhh this is the engineers song.... US Army Combat medic
sadiki roool
牛逼~！
1:29 in and all I've heard is a bad rendition of "The ants go marching in".
are you fucking joking
The internet. You're welcome.
This is a sad version of a great ARMY ENGINEER song!
Combat engineers sing it better
+Kyle Alton I have friends in 2 Combat engineer regiment in Garisson Petawawa. those fuckers are crazy and they will sing it after demolishing 2 24s
+GTFelite2655 oh I believe it there have been many drunk nights of me and my engineer buds singing it
fucking Alton.... hahahahaha the real engineer song is better
No kidding right, I know they meant well, but this is gay as fuck.
haha
Everyone except the engineers!
whats wrong with them? they ARENT DRINKING!
they're too busy prancing around to drink hard
Way to take song REAL engineers song and totally fuck it up. You all make me sick.
Sincerely,
One disgusted US ARMY COMBAT ENGINEER.
Real engineers? You are joing now right? I have "combat engineers" stationed in my hometown, they are a big fucking joke.
Too stupid to be a real engineer, far to unfit to be a real soldier.

As a combat engineer. You ripped off our song
There’s differing versions for differing engineers. No one owns it.
@@danielchipper6781 mining engineer and yeah we have our own version as well
Tedmatic Nice! Is it online anywhere?
I came hear for tf2
They are not wearing the right colors and we do it much better! Essayons on my brothers and sisters
Determined Veteran Haha, they don't have that good ol crimson red and white
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more. Essayons!
Let us try
It allows everyone to waste less time on "socialization" and spend more time doing something useful.
What have I just witnessed civis should not sing this
jamallll
🙂
HMTY for life bitches!!
WHAT THE FUCKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This song should be sung by engineers, not some kids. I find this quite insulting.
I'll give MIT a pass ;)

No one died and made you king.
Yup. I can now confirm what an abortion looks like.....
I salute those that had served the military as engineers. M.I.T. you should be ashamed.
@kkfin81 to save time and effort, engineers are taught to steal others' work as much as possible. We're very lazy people, really.
MIT? Please... WVU engineers could teach you a thing or two about demolishing forty beers. How about Fourtys?
