On a tree by a river, a little tom-tit
Sang Willow, Tit Willow, Tit Willow;
And I said to him, Dicky-bird, why do you sit
Singing Willow, Tit Willow, Tit Willow?
Is it weakness of intellect, Birdy? I cried,
Or a rather tough worm in your little inside?
With a shake of his poor little head, he replied,
Oh,Willow, Tit Willow, Tit Willow.

It goes on. Any Gilbert and Sullivan website should give you the whole thing plus the tune and the context. Good song, but there must be several gazillion better names!
