There are 2 songs that come to mind.
"Shaving Cream"
"The old lady died in her bathtub,
They say she had taken a fit,
To fulfill her last wishes,
She was burried in six feet of Sh....
Chorus
Shaving Cream, Shaving cream,
Shave everyday and you'll always look keen."
Every verse ends with an word begining with "sh" and rhyming with a word ending with "it". However, the "sh" carries into the chorus, the first word of which is "shaving cream". Originally writen in the 1920's, Benny Bell had a minor hit with it in '75.
-and-
"Up with the Kock"
Based on a "bawdy" English folk tune, it was a popular Ska song for Judge Dread.
"I know a girl who works on the farm
If you listen to me I'll tell you a yarn
Always asleep by 10 o'clock
At 6 o'clock its up with the Kock"
Chorus:
"Up with the kock,
Up with the kock,
at 6 o'clock its up with the kock"
The story & the chorus keeps building. Verse 2 she milks the cows ("Pull on the tyt"), Verse 3 life on the farm is hard ("Its so hard"), Verse 4 she catches her foot in a driving chain ("Scream & moan"), Verse 5 at harvest time you hope the weather won't "come in quick".
final chorus is:
"Come in quick, come in quick,
Scream & moan, scream & moan,
Its so hard, Its so hard,
Pull on the tyt, pull on the tyt,
Up with the kock,
Up with the kock,
at 6 o'clock its up with the kock"
Your music historian,
