Here's one circulating in southeastern Tennessee in the 1970s:

My country, 'tis of thee
I went to Germany (sometimes "Italy")
To see the king
His name is Donald Duck
He drives a garbage truck
He ran into the garbage dump
(last line gibberish)

A version of that one can be found on this Boy Scout song page here: http://www.boyscouttrail.com/content/song/my_countrys_tired_of_me-1117.asp

In the Christmas department, in that same time and place as above:

Jingle Bells, Batman smells
Robin laid an egg
Batmobile lost a wheel
And Joker got away
