"Godiva's Hymn", "Engineer's Hymn" or "Engineers' Drinking Song" is a traditional drinking song for engineers. Versions of it have been associated with the Army Corps of Engineers, as well as MIT and various universities,[1] and is now often performed by the MIT a cappella group The Chorallaries. In many university engineering faculties, military engineering corps and other engineering organizations and societies, Lady Godiva is a school icon or mascot.

One of Godiva's Verses:[2]
Godiva was a lady who through Coventry did ride--
To show to all the villagers her fine and lily-white hide--
The most observant villager, an engineer of course--
Was the only one to notice that Godiva rode a horse--
Один из куплетов Гимна Годивы:
Годивой звали леди, что должна была проехать через Ковентри,
Чтобы показать всем жителям свою прекрасную и лилейно-белую кожу
Самый внимательный житель - разумеется он был инженером!
Был единственным, кто сумел заметить, что Годива ехала на лошади!
