Here is a great video of House's Hugh Laurie doing a song he wrote called "Mystery" on Inside the Actors Studio. It is VERY funny and worth watching!

From Wikipedia "Mystery is a humorous song by Hugh Laurie about a woman he loves, in which the last word of each line of the song rhymes. It is seen in series one of the television series A Bit of Fry and Laurie. The humour arises from the path the narrative is driven by the deliberately forced-sounding rhymes."
Here's the lyrics....
"Mystery
All my life has been a mystery
You and I were never ever meant to be
That's why I call my love for you a mystery
Different country
You and I have always lived in a different country
And I know that airline tickets don't grow on a tree
So what kept us apart is plain for me to see
That much at least is not really a mystery
Estuary
I live in a houseboat on an estuary
Which is handy for my work with the Port Authority
But I know you would have found it insanitary
Insanitary
Hated me
I'd be foolish to ignore the possibility
That if we'd ever actually met, you might have taken a violent dislike to me
Still, thats not the only problem that I can see
Dead since 1993
You've been dead now . . . wait a minute, let me see
Fourteen years come next January (JAN-uary)
As a human being you are history
So why do why I still long for you?
Why is my love so strong for you?
Why did I write this song for you?
Well, I guess it's just a mysteryMystery"
