The clear winner--and it actually was a winner of such a contest
I read somewhere--is that late 60's classic: "Honey".  Let me see
if I can remember a line (they're all gruesome):

   She wrecked the car and I got mad but what the heck,
   I guess you'd say she saw through me and hugged my neck.

Or something like that.  The runner-up in this same contest was the
equally forgetable "Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree".
