I bet you like the pun-song "The Little Red Rooster". 

Lyrics:
We had an old (x), nothing would s/he lay
(repeat)
Until the little red rooster came in our yard
(repeat)
Now s/he (y) every day.

First verse: x = hen, y = gives eggs

Additional verses ad nauseum, examples:
x = cow, y = gives eggnog
x = prostitute, y = gives egghead.

Last verse:
We had an old rooster, nothing would he lay
(repeat)
Until the little red hen came in our yard
(repeat)
Now he lays hens every day.

I just realised that remembering as much of this song as I do, and
having thought it was funny back when I used to hear it, is solid
proof that I drank too much in those days.
