Engineer's Song
We are, we are, we are, we are, we are the engineers,
We can (5 times) . . . drink all of 40 beers,
Get drunk (5 times) . . . with all of us,
for we don't give a damn for any a man
who don't give a damn for us.

Engineering Students' Drinking Song
We are, we are, we are, we are, we are the engineers,
We can, we can, we can, we can drink all of forty beers,

And we don't give a damn for any old man who don't give a damn for us HEY!

The Cellar of Old Sigma Pi
Give a yell, give a cheer
For the men who drink the beer
In the cellar of old Sigma Pi.
They are brave, they are bold
And the liquor they can hold
Is a story that's never been told.
For it's guzzle, guzzle, guzzle
As the beer runs down their muzzle
Drink boys and never go dry.
And it's more, more, more,
As the cops rap on the door
In the cellar of old Sigma Pi.

Drink a Highball
(sung to "Clementine")
Drink a high-ball at night-fall, be good fellows while you may,
For tomorrow may bring sorrow, so tonight let's all be gay.
Tell the story of the glory of our grand Old Sigma Pi,
Drink a high-ball at night-fall to the health of Sigma Pi.

The Goblet Song
Get out the old silver goblet with the Sigma Pi upon it
And we'll open up another keg of beer.
It's a damn fine college, but we didn't come for knowledge
And so we'll raise hell while we're here.
Bring out the old silver goblet with the Sigma Pi upon it
And we'll open up another keg of beer.
There's enough for all the brothers so to hell with all the others
And we'll raise hell while we're here.

D'ye Mind Lang Syne?
D'ye mind lang syne
When the summer days were fine
When the sum had shone far brichter
Than it's ever done since syne?
D'ye mind the ha-brig turn
Where we guddled [catch trout by hand] in the burn [stream]
And were late for school in the mornin'?
D'ye mind the braes
Where we gathered hips [fruit on rosebushes] and slaes
And ran among the bramble bushes
Tearing aw oor claes,
And for fear we micht be seen
We came slippin' hame at e'en
And got lickit for oor pains in the mornin'?
D'ye mind the miller's dam
When the frosty winter cam'
How we slid among the curlers' rinks
And made their game a sham,
And they chased us through the snaw
We got leg-bail there an' a'
But we did it ower again in the mornin'?
Where are now the freens we knew
Who were once so real and true?
Some hae left this earthly scene
And some are struggling through.
Ay, and some hae risen high
In life's changing destiny
For they rose with the lark in the mornin'.
Now life's sweet Spring has passed
And Autumn's here at last
The Summer's day has flown away
And Winter's coming fast,
But though land the nicht may seem
We will sleep without a dream
Till we awaken on that bright Sabbath mornin'.

The Men of Sigma Pi--A Toast
Oh lift the brimming glasses
And raise the song on high
To pledge the rousing chorus
The men of Sigma Pi
Our band will soon be parted
As time rolls swiftly by
So pledge the toast true hearted
Ye men of Sigma Pi
Ring out the hearty wassail
Then drain your goblets dry
While the echoes are resounding
In praise of Sigma Pi.
CHORUS:
For search the wide world over
Or wander far and nigh
Truer men you'll not discover
Than the men of Sigma Pi.

Fraternity Song
Chorus:
A cheer for Sig Pi, were on the path to glory
And all the other frats had better take a bye
A cheer for Sig Pi, we never get caught nappin',
We always know what's happening when we're getting high.
The Theta Tav's thought they could take us alone,
We left them laying in a pile of dust.
And laughed about it all the way home
Ba da da
Chorus
The parties we throw are known all over the state.
The dates we get are groovy and great.
The best thing about them is that they stay out late.
Ba da da
Chorus
The sororities, thought we could never win
The hearts of girls who had never sinned.
But look at all the ones who wear our pins.

The Adam Song
Adam was the first man,
To wear a Sig Pi pin,
Noah was the second,
We had to let him in,
Moses was the third one,
We had a lot of fun,
When Julius Caesar came around
We pledged the son of a gun.
The S stands for Sigma,
The P stands for P-I, pi.
The S stands for Sigma,
The P stands for P-I, pi.
And if you look around you,
Or gaze into the sky,
You will see that naught is written
But the name of Sigma Pi
He rambled down to U of D
He thought he'd join a frat
He thought he'd take a look around
To see where he was at;
Because he was a fellow
We knew he'd be all right
The colors that he wore next day
Were lavender and white.
He rambled down to Hades
To see the poor souls
He saw a bunch of Theta Xi's
A roasting on the coals
For the TKE's and Theta Tau's
The sizzle had begun
While SIGMA PI's in velvet chairs
Were watching all the fun.
CHORUS:
Then in came old beelzebub
Of hell he was the king;
And all the little imps came in
And they began to sing;
They saw the gang give him the grip
And then they heard the cry
That he's a charter member
And a damn good Sigma Pi.
He rambled up to heaven
To see who all was there
He found a bunch a-hanging 'round
The foot of the Golden Stairs.
Some were smoking cigarettes,
They all were feeling high,
They all were damn good friends of his,
They all were Sigma Pi's.
CHORUS:
Now don't be disconcerted
If you miss the narrow path.
Or if you flunk your morals
like you used to flunk your math.
And don't be disconcerted
If you hear the funeral bell
For we've a strong alumni
In the very depths of hell.

The Old Apple Pie
Was the crust of the old apple pie
That was put there for you and for I
It was only a pin, that Mary stuck in
(It may be a nail or a pussy cat's tail)

Cheer for Old CYO
Cheer, cheer for old CYO
You bring the whiskey, I'll bring the dough
Send those KP's out for gin, and
Don't let a sober camper in.
We never stagger, we never fall
We sober up on hard alcohol
While our loyal counselors all
Are drunk on the staff house floor.

Come Gather Around the Fireside
Come gather round the fireside bright
In bonds of brotherhood tonight
And raise your voices lustily
To sing of our fraternity.
Chorus:
Long may she live, and may there be
True fellowship eternally
Once more we pledge our loyalty
To Sigma Pi fraternity.
The circle changes with the years,
The brothers come and disappear,
But still the fire is burning bright
Upon the chapter hearth tonight.

Parting Song (Tune: Auld Lang Syne)
Oh, brothers raise the parting song;
At last it is good-bye.
In every heart is grief to part
From men of Sigma Pi.
While time rolls on, men still must pass,
The parting hour is nigh
Oh loyal band stretch forth your hand
To men of Sigma Pi.
And brothers, when once more we meet;
Oh how shall gleam each eye,
To greet once more the friends of yore
True men of Sigma Pi.
When comes the time, as come it must,
To leave our band for aye,
In every heart shall fullest start,
The love of Sigma Pi.

Cowboy Joe
Way down yonder, where the bad men are,
and the only thing to guide them is the evening star,
There's the roughest, toughest man by far,
He's the ragtime cowboy Joe.
He always sings as he swings in the
saddle on a horse, a pretty good horse
with a syncopated gait.
And there's such a funny meter to the roar of his repeater
As they ride and the Western folks all say,
He's a rootin, tootin' son of a gun
from Alabam, he's the ragtime cowboy Joe.
Talk about your cowboy. Ragtime cowboy Joe.
