Well, if it can take place on the water, what about "Captain Jack?" It trad., but the only version I've heard is done by De Dannon.

Took me a few times to understand the lyrics... got a bit confused [how *could* she? Serves her right! Oh, wait... how could *he*? Poor girl... oh wait, that's... what the heck? Well, that makes no sense...] until I figured it all out [oooh].
