"Ashby-de-la-Zouch By The Sea", where "the skies are full of blue and the cows are full of moo", c 1940 -- actually an American spoof (Al Hoffman / Milton Drake / Jerry Livingston - writers also of Mairzy Doats), based on the fact that the town is in Leicestershire, about as far from the sea as you can get in England.
