Slough
Come friendly bombs and rain on Slough
And turn it for fields to plough
Come friendly bombs and rain on Slough
It is time to cry "We've had enough!"
Come friendly bombs and rain on Slough
It truly is a rotten borough.
Come friendly bombs and rain on Slough
Or drown it in a Irish lough
Come friendly bombs and rain on Slough
It is awful through and through
Come friendly bombs and rain on Slough
It make me want to heave and cough
Come friendly bombs and rain on Slough
It is like the worst of all hiccough.
Come friendly bombs and rain on Slough
And the people with brains of dough
Day trip?
My aunt lives there, and has this proudly over her dining table.

There is one more pronunciation, but it has a T after, as in "thought" and I couldn't think of any words using this without the T.
If you are going for a T after the 'oug/ow' sound-
Trout
Spout
Clout
Tout
Grout
About
Without
Pout
Devout
Sprout
Read original properly Guy!
Genius - made me laugh. (Haugh-haugh.)
