I've got the first three verses (to the droning tune of Wreck of Ed. Fitzg.).

A cottonwood canoe and her tiki-mad crew
Twas the triumph of rum over Reason.
The old salts shook their heads, and thought, They’ll all end up dead
It’s the craziest stunt of the season.

With a jug of Mai Tais, and a gleam in their eyes
They were determined to conquer Lake Huron
They let out a roar, and paddled out from shore.
So began the wild voyage of Pighammer.

The weather was calm, as they started out strong
On what they thought would be just a daytrip
But as they lost sight of land, the GPS lay in the sand,
Back on shore – they didn’t realize they’d dropped it.
