I know Robbie Williams is a twat in general, but you have to give him credit for managing to get one of the classic footie chants into a hit record;

"Come and have a go if you think you are hard enough" Robbie Williams - Millennium

The Fairy Fellers Master Stroke - Queen

he's a fairy feller
the fairy folk have gathered round the new moon shine
to see the feller crack a nut at nights noon time
to swing his ace he swears, as it climbs he dares
to deliver...
the master-stroke
ploughman, "waggoner will", and types
politician with senatorial pope
- he's a dilly-dally-o
pedagogue squinting, wears a frown
and a satyr peers under lady's gown, dirty fellow
what a dirty laddio
tatterdemalion and a junketer
there's a thief and a dragonfly
trumpeter - he's my hero
fairy dandy tickling the fancy of his lady friend
the nymph in yellow "can we see the master-stroke"
what a quaere fellow
soldier, sailor, tinker, tailor, ploughboy
waiting to hear the sound
and the arch-magician presides
he is the leader
oberon and titania watched by a harridan
mab is the queen and there's a good apothecary-man
come to say hello
fairy dandy tickling the fancy of his lady friend
the nymph in yellow
what a quaere fellow
the ostler stares with hands on his knees
come on mr. feller, crack it open if you please

Einstein, disguised as Robin Hood
With his memories in a trunk
Passed this way an hour ago
With his friend, a jealous monk
He looked so immaculately frightful
As he bummed a cigarette
Then he went off sniffing drainpipes
And reciting the alphabet

"Nemesis" by Shriekback, probably the best use ever of the word 'parthenogenesis' in rock lyrics:

Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals
Everybody happy as the dead come home
Big Black Nemesis, parthenogenesis
No one move a muscle as the dead come home

Virtually the whole of "Like a rolling stone" by Dylan, especially:-

"You used to ride on a chrome horse with your diplomat,
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat"

and

"You used to be so amused,
At Napolean in rags and the language that he used"
