You could always add some of the irreverent student songs:

e.g.
"To stop the train in cases of emergency
please pull the chain.
Penalty for improper use 10 pounds"
(sung as a 4 part round)

"Passengers will please refrain
from using toilets while the train
Is in the station or while passing through ..."
umpteen verses including references to colonel Light
sung to the tune of Dvorak's Humoresque
