Immediately thought of Paul Stookey's (Peter, Paul and Mary) "Right Field".........it's a classic!

About 3/4 of Loudon Wainwright III's music from the last 50 years would be applicable.

Tom Rush has an entire album of novelty tunes called 'Trolling For Owls'. It's a great collection of songs that fit your criteria. Here's one example for you.

“Killing me softly (with Kung fu)” - it lends itself to additional rhymes

Any Tom Lehrer song - his Irish ballad is particularly funny.

One I toss in, if the crowds ready for it, is Jimmy Buffett's "Why Don't We Get Drunk".
Naughty and nice.

Not a lot of lyrics to remember with this one.

What makes this even funnier is that it's a COVER. With a lot of extra work done on the video compared to the original.

Many of Tom Lehrer's (sp?) songs are very funny, and still relevant after all these years (most written in the 50's?).

Randy Newman has written a bunch of good ones; "Political Science" and "You Can Leave Your Hat On" come to mind immediately...

You could never go wrong with The Universe Song from Monty Python...

Lately, I've been pondering learning the acoustic version of the theme song from "The Big Bang Theory"...

Here's one I've recently added to my set list that gets some laughs. I love Chris' sense of humor.
