The song Lisa plays after her power plant ballad upon Lenny's request is Classical Gas, by Mason Williams.

I believe the ballad goes,

"Come gather round children, it's high time ye learns
'Bout a hero named Homer and a devil named Burns
We'll march till we drop, the girls and the fellas
We'll fight to the death or else fold like umbrellas.
So we'll march day and night by the big cooling tower
They have the plant, but we have the power."

Is that what you were looking for?

The title is a homage to Hubert Selby Jr.'s Last Exit to Brooklyn

The ballad that Lisa sings, the one that Wangstein gave you the lyrics for, is a Simpsons original. Most of the songs they do are. Either that, or their parodied covers.
