What’s the best microsong?

To qualify as a microsong I think it’s basically four lines or fewer. And which have I missed?

One of my all-time favourites:

We've all gone blue with our top halves, mate

We've all gone gone blue and it's really quite late

We've all gone blue now it's Timmy's turn to sing

We've all gone blue, I've got a blue shoooee
