For funny lines, I think the line about Betty's "engine" is pretty funny (the braggart! LOL):

Betty called me in to say goodnight,
Much to my relief and pure delight.
And with the dawn, the child in me was gone,
But it made a man out of me that night.
I think that was my big love scene
I do believe her engine run all right.

I also laugh at the lines from High & Dry:

Now the pleasures of the harbor,
Don't include a lady barber,
If it wasn't for Long John Silver
All of us pirates would have been martyrs.

But my favorite (unsurprisingly) is from Too Much to Lose"

"The dustcloud on the edge of town is me."

Still from Divorce Country Style
"something about roses, then how I miss your Two lips"... then about the line ending up like beef stew meat.
