Lyrics:

I hang out with guys holdin big degrees
Designin boards for the industries
Were usin chips in standard packs
To send out data -- hope we get some back!

Some chips are custom, some chips are plain
Some chips will drive an engineer insane!
We spec em in the design looks sweet,
We buy a half a million before they go obsolete!

Im a Chiphead well, Im a Chiphead yeah, Im a chiphead
I coulda been a doctor or a lawyer instead, but Im a Chiphead

Im a Chiphead -- Im a Chiphead yeah, Im a chiphead
Semiconductors help me earn my bread yeah, Im a Chiphead

I lay out circuits in the day and the night
Always got my headphones adjusted just right
I need three hands, while Im watchin the screen
Two for the mouse and keyboard, one for sippin caffeine

Im a Chiphead -- Im a Chiphead yeah, Im a chiphead
I get turned on watchinschematics get drawn cause Im a Chiphead

Im a Chiphead -- Im a Chiphead yeah, Im a chiphead
I check out the specs on the complex projects, yeah, Im a Chiphead

I go to tradeshows to learn from the pros
I watch the how-to videos
Talkin double-data-rate memory
Data transfer at high at M-H-zs

Integrated circuits come in every shape and size
Gettin smaller and hotter you gotta realize --
If you work with these your gonna need thermal grease,
Fans, clamps and heatpipes so the heatll decrease!

You gotta be a Chiphead! Be a Chiphead be a Chiphead
Be a Chiphead come on be a Chiphead, be a Chiphead..... etc."
