The Smothers Brothers did a longer version of the one BBCW cited above:

Hangman, hangman slack your rope,
Slack your rope,
Slack it 'fore I (choking sound).

Unless anyone comes up with a one-word song with less than four letters, I think we have a winner.

I had a Tom Paxton CD on which he sang a song to commemorate a lost election. Musical intro followed by "shit". Shortest for me.

Obviously a flop!

There are much more interesting threads on mudcat.

Because of best song ever I do believe it's time to complete the "ever" section by finding out which song in pop history was the shortest ever.
We did the longest some time ago so now let's start nominating the absolutely shortest.

Personally, I have no idea.
