There is this:
Battle Of New Orleans
In 1814 we took a little trip, Along with Col. Jackson
down the mighty Mississip. We took a little bacon, and
we took a little beans. And we met the bloody British near
the town of New Orleans.
We looked down the river and we seen the British come,
An there must have been a hundred of them beatin on the drum.
They stepped so high & they made their bugles ring, we
stood beside our cotton bails & didn't say a thing.
Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise if we didn't
fire our muskets 'til we looked them in the eye.
We held our fire 'til we see'd their faces well, then we
opened up our squirrel guns & really gave 'em Hell
They ran thru the briars and they ran thru the brambles and
they ran thru the bushes where a rabbit wouldn't go.
They ran so fast the the hounds couldn't catch 'em on down
the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
We fired our cannon till the barrel melted down, then we grabbed
an alligator & we fought another round. We filled his head with
cannon balls, & powered his behind 'n when we touched the
powder off the gator lost his mind.

I think that all right-thinking people in this country are sick and tired of being told that ordinary, decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am.

The Battle of Kookamonga
In nineteen and fifty-nine we took a little hike
With our scout master down to Lake Oneeganite
We took a little pizza and we took some saurkrauts
And we marched along together till we seen the girl scouts
Chorus:
We're the boys from Camp Kookamonga
Our mothers sent us here for to study nature's ways
We learned to make sparks by rubbin’ sticks together
But if we catch the girls then we'll set the woods ablaze
Well we crept up to the water and we seen the girls a-swimmin'
There musta been a hundred of them purty young women
They looked so fine even birds forgot to sing
We lay down in the poison oak and didn't say a thing
Chorus
Well our counselor said we could take them by surprise
If we didn't say a word till we looked them in the eyes
We kept real still and we had our eyes a-glued
We saw how they were dressed, they were swimming in the
Welll, now...
Chorus
Well they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
They ran so fast even we couldn't catch them
From Lake Oneeganite all the way to Buffalo
Well we ran right after them till everyone was pooped
So we rested for a moment and our forces we regrouped
Then we seen the girls behind some evergreens
They was captured by a company of United States Marines
Chorus
Well they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
They ran so fast even we couldn't catch them
From Lake Oneeganite all the way to Buffalo
Falsetto Chorus
A-rootie-toot-toot. A-rootie-toot-toot.
We are the boys from the Boy Scout troop
We don't smoke and we don't chew
And we don't go with the girls that do

It's fun, it's healthy, it's good exercise. The kids will just love it. And we put a little sand inside to make the experience more pleasant.
You know, they say there was a man who jumped from the forty-FIFTH floor? But that's another story...
