This isn't one of them, but it has the "Something Smells" part: From http://bayard.lincs.net/smells.htm

JINGLE SMELLS
To the tune of "Jingle Bells"
Copyright 1994 , The Shadows of the Elm

 
CHORUS:
Jingle Bells, something smells,
What is that we spy?
The carcass of a Christmas goose with feathers all awry.
Jingle Bells, something smells,
Better cook it quick,
Or Henry Baker's Christmas goose is gonna make you sick.
 
From a hansom cab, Henry spied a place,
That he though he'd patronize and warm his hands and face.
Went into the pub, bought himself a beer,
Spied the geese and joined the club so he'd have one that year.
 
(CHORUS)
 
Henry got the goose and went into the street,
When suddenly a gang of roughs just knocked him off his feet.
Left his goose and hat and quickly ran away,
When he saw a London cop coming down that way.
 
(CHORUS)
 
Policeman took the goose, and cut it up to cook.
When the knife hit something hard he had to take a look.
There inside its crop, a carbuncle of blue.
He picked it up and left his house, he knew just what to do.
 
(CHORUS)
 
That's our little song, the story isn't through,
But if you want to know the rest we'll tell you what to do.
Get your reading specs, and go up to your shelf,
For if you want to know the rest, just read the book yourself!
