I've Been Working with a Sliderule (sung to the tune: I've Been Working on the Railroad)

I've been working with a sliderule
All the livelong day.
I've been working with a sliderule
Just to keep the draftboard away.
Don't you smell the beer a'brewing.
Can't wait to get to a bar.
Don't you hear the bartender shouting
Dinah, come in here.

Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow that Engineer.
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah don't you have no fear.

Someone's in the bedroom with Dinah.
Someone's in the bedroom I know.
Someone's in the bedroom with Dinah.
He must be an Engineer.
