If you have the stomach for it, here's the song.
P.S. "Chip, the magic cracker" - that's hilarious! We should work on some verses. I'll start (I'm not good at this, so anybody feel free to change it):
Chip the Magic Cracker
Down in Tennessee

Chip the Magic Cracker With
Chip the Magic Cracker
With his smiley pinky ring
Thought it bought good luck to Mike

Gourd? Eggplant?

Lameness, thy name is Saltsman.
