"I know this girl whose name is LOLA,
She lives in a country called ANGOLA!"

- Stetsasonic, Free South Africa

Not generally considered a "classic", but I always liked it. And the rhyming couplets make me laugh! For example:
"She says, 'Hey buddy, my country's in war here (pronounce: hee-ah),
Fightin' rebels backed by Pretoria...!"

lol
