Interesting Radio 2 documentary on Paul Simon last night, including a recording of his homage to the Northern Line, including these words (although the sound quality was very poor):
Along came the Northern Line, [along came the Tube?],
All the way from Clapham South, down to Waterloo,
Stopped at [two-one?] Balham Heath,
Stopped at Leicester Square,
The people were in the station,
George [Crumpet?] - he was there.
Off the top of my head, I don't know of any other songs mentioning my least favourite place to be, except this tongue-in-cheek offering from Marillion:
"The polar ice is melting
Suits me fine
We go to the beach on the Northern Line"
