Another option: all the verses you want, with the hook embedded in each of them. Here's a cool one by Bob Dylan:

Percy's Song

Bad news, bad news come to me where I sleep
Turn, turn, turn again
Sayin' one of your friends is in trouble deep
Turn, turn to the rain an' the wind.

Oh what is the trouble, tell me once into my ear
Turn, turn, turn again
Joliet prison an' ninety-nine years
Turn, turn to the rain an' the wind.

Oh what is the charge of how this came to be?
Turn, turn, turn again
Manslaughter in the highest of degrees
Turn, turn to the rain an' the wind.

I sat down an' wrote the best words that I could write
Turn, turn, turn again
Tellin' the judge I'd be there on Wednesday night
Turn, turn to the rain an' the wind.

Without a reply I left by the moon
Turn, turn, turn again
An' was his chambers by the next afternoon
Turn, turn to the rain an' the wind.

"Could you tell me the facts?" I said without fear
Turn, turn, turn again
That a friend of mine would get ninety-nine years
Turn, turn to the rain an' the wind.

A crash on the highway flew the car into a field
Turn, turn, turn again
There was four persons dead an' he was at the wheel
Turn, turn to the rain an' the wind.

Well maybe it's true he has a sentence to serve
Turn, turn, turn again
But ninety-nine years he just don't deserve
Turn, turn to the rain an' the wind.

That may be true said the judge from the side of his mouth
Turn, turn, turn again
But the witness who saw left little doubt
Turn, turn to the rain an' the wind.

But I know him as good as I'm knowin' myself
Turn, turn, turn again
An' he wouldn't harm a life that belonged to someone else
Turn, turn to the rain an' the wind.

Too late, too late for his case it is sealed
Turn, turn, turn again
His sentence is passed an' it cannot be repealed
Turn, turn to the rain an' the wind.

But he ain't no criminal an' his crime it is none
Turn, turn, turn again
What happened to him could happen to anyone
Turn, turn to the rain an' the wind.

At that the judge jerked forward an' his face it did freeze
Turn, turn, turn again
Sayin' "Could you kindly leave my office now please.''
Turn, turn to the rain an' the wind.

I tilted my head an' I stood up so slow
Turn, turn, turn again
Without no other choice except but for to go
Turn, turn to the rain an' the wind.

I walked down the hallway an' I heard his door slam
Turn, turn, turn again
I walked down the courthouse stairs an' I did not understand
Turn, turn to the rain an' the wind.

I played my guitar thru the night to the day
Turn, turn, turn again
An' the only tune my guitar could play
Was "Oh the cruel rain an' the wind.''
