Godiva's Hymn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Godiva's Hymn (sometimes Engineer's Hymn or Engineers' Drinking Song) is a traditional drinking song for engineers. In many university engineering faculties, military engineering corps and other engineering organizations and societies, Lady Godiva is a school icon or mascot.
Godiva's Hymn is sung either to the tune of The Battle Hymn of the Republic or The Son of a Gambolier. Near Christmas, it is a tradition of the Lady Godiva Memorial Band to sing Godiva's Hymn to the tune of Good King Wenceslaus.
