Different one's for bass and treble clef. From bottom to top on the treble clef, for example, is the common, "Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge" for the E G B D F.

A staff with one flat (Bb) is the key of F. You just have to memorize that, too.
A staff with two flats (Bb and Eb) is the key of Bb. You go to the second to last flat and that is the key.
Three flats (Bb, Eb and Ab) is the key of Eb.
Four flats (Bb, Eb, Ab and Db) is the key of Ab.
A staff with one sharp (F#) is the key of G. You look at the last sharp and go up one half step for the key.
A staff with two sharps (F# and C#) is the key of D.
A staff with three sharps (F#, C# and G#) is the key of A
