A TUNEFUL SONG

(composer unknown) I like to sing a tuneful song
A tuneful song is never wrong
I also like to play ping-pong
PING-pong.

(I learned this on a mountaintop in Colorado about 1972. A girl scout troop was standing in a circle, doing it as a round with each new person coming in right after "I like". The words are sung on the same note, each syllable of equal length, so it comes out as steadily and monotonously as possible, except for the second PING which is sung one octave higher while the last pong goes back to the original note. The effect with a group of more than twelve is hilarious.)
