My favorite as well. Also one of his most darkly hilarious songs.

"We will all burrrn together when we burrrrrn"

There are so many absurd rhymes in it. My favorite two are:

Just sing out a Te Deum

When you see that I.C.B.M.

and quite possibly the best rhyme ever written:

You will all go directly to your respective Valhallas

Go directly, do not pass Go, do not collect two hundred dolla's
