What about The Glasgow Eskimos, written in praise of the foolhardy idealists who tried to stop the first convoy of US warships arriving at the Holy Loch on the Clyde, using only kayaks.
Up the Clyde came Lannan[?]in his super duper yank
We fairly cramped his smile me boys when we dropped him in the stank*
Up to your knees in sludge and sewage fairly cramps your style
For we are the Glasgow eskimos.

Hurrah hurrah we are the eskimos
Hurrah hurrah the Glasgow eskimos
We,ll gaff that nyaff**called Lannan, and we'll spear him where he blows.
We are the Glasgow eskimos.

Don't remember any more, but I'm sure ljc will know some of this one.
*stank= drain
** nyaff=creep/plonker
