Grey In L.A. by Loudon Wainwright III has unusual internal rhymes.

When it's grey in L.A. I sure like it that way
Cause there's way too much sunshine round here
I don't know about you I get so sick of blue skies
Wherever they always appear

And I sure love the sound of the rain pouring down
On my carport roof made out of tin
If there's a flood then there's gonna be mud slides
We all have to pay for our sin

It's a great song, even if it is a little too clever!
