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.

You know Tom, That "Brandy" is one great single but I'm not sure I'd want anyone but The Looking Glass doing it (very unique vocal). Only other hit they had that I can think of was "Jimmy Loves Mary Ann".

As for content though "Brandy" is right on the mark for Gordo.
