Here's my contribution: Clockout... from Devo's "Duty Now For The Future"
(also on "Greatest Misses", I believe)
All right, clockout!

Down on all fours...
'Cause we gonna, we gonna, we gonna, we gonna clockout.
[repeat verse...]
Take my advice. Hear my decree.
I'm afraid the future's gonna be maintenance free.
I got the big brush for your bowl.
Baby, can't you dig my plea?
Gonna gag, unless we clockout.
No, no, no.
