The worst one I can think of is The Ballad of Eskimo Nell,
TTTO Hope Eyrie/The Eagle Has Landed.

	When a man grows old and his balls grow cold,
	And the end of his knob turns blue,
	When it's bent in the middle like a one-string fiddle
	He can tell a tale or two,

	So lend me an ear and stand me a drink
	For I've a tale to tell-l,
	Of Deadeye Dick, and Mexico Pete, and gentle Eskimo Nell.

Ok you have to fudge the tune a little...
