A while ago, someone came to a group sing with a silly tune about an incompetent ship's captain. He hasn't showed up since, so I can't ask him, and Google hasn't helped. The verses get gradually more ridiculous; first, he knocks over his ship's mast and it sinks. Then, he goes to sea in a colander and sinks. Finally, he pulls a cork out of Ireland and the whole island sinks. The chorus went like: Fiddlee rink-a-dink-a-doo-rye-am, I am Captain O'Rourke, I am Don't go hailing, when I'm sailing I am a fine ship's captain
