I never thought it would happenWith me and the girl from claphamOut on a windy commonThat night I ain’t forgottenWhen she dealt out the rationsWith some or other passionsI said you are a ladyPerhaps she said I may beWe moved into a basementWith thoughts of our engagementWe stayed in by the tellyAlthough the room was smellyWe spent our time just kissingThe railway arms we’re missingBut love had got us hooked upAnd all our time it took up
I got a job with stanleyHe said I’d come in handyAnd started me on mondaySo I had a bath on sundayI worked eleven hoursAnd bought the girl some flowersShe said she’d seen a doctorAnd nothing now could stop her
I worked all through the winterThe weather brass and bitterI put away a tennerEach week to make her betterAnd when the time was readyWe had to sell the tellyLate evenings by the fireWith little kicks inside her
This morning at 4:50I took her rather niftyDown to an incubatorWhere thirty minutes laterShe gave birth to a daughterWithin a year a walkerShe looked just like her motherIf there could be another
And now she’s two years olderHer mother’s with a soldierShe left me when my drinkingBecame a proper stingingThe devil came and took meFrom bar to street to bookieNo more nights by the tellyNo more nights nappies smelling
Alone here in the kitchenI feel there’s something missingI’d beg for some forgivenessBut begging’s not my businessAnd she won’t write a letterAlthough I always tell herAnd so it’s my assumptionI’m really up the junction

Indeed ... and the classic near-rhyme:
"Some people try to pick up girls and get called assholeThis never happened to Pablo Picasso"
Another king of the so goofy it makes me grin rhyme is Peter Prescott (Volcano Suns, primarily, better known as drummer for Mission of Burma)
"I wanna make the whole world growJust like Barry Manilow" (Bumper Crop)
"Hallelujah ... a dab'll do ya!" and
"Throw your hands into the airMake sure they don't get stranded there" (both from Testify)
there are many more ...
