Other suggestions included variations on

The Battle of Jeri's Stump

The stump lay there and Jeri kept a-comin'
And it isn't nigh as pretty as it was a while ago
The car got stuck and the Shellbacks came a-runnin'
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico*

*poetic licence

Well, we looked cross the lawn and we seed the British come
And there must have been a hundred* of them beating on the drum
They sang so high and they made the branches ring
While Jeri sat behind the wheel and didn't say a thing
