How about Looking Glass' #1 hit from 1972 "Brandy(You're a Fine Girl)"?
Brandy you're a fine girl
What a good wife you would be
Your eyes could steal a sailer from the sea
Brandy you're a fine girl
What a good wife you would be
But my life, my love, and my lady
Is the Sea

I always thought that sounded like quintessential Gord lyrics.
