We had a great time visiting Mac & Ted in Norfolk this past weekend. We stayed at the Marriott Norfolk Waterside and ejoyed the hampton Roads dockside where there is lots to do. The biggest thing to do is to visit the battleship USS Wisconson which is docked only two blocks from the hotel. This is the ship that Ted’s Grandpa, ed Visser served on so it held special meaning to us when we visited. The Wisconsin is part of the Nautica Museum .

    Sit Down Your Rockin’ The Boat! Lyrics by Kay Stubby
    NICELY-NICELY:
    I dreamed last night I got on the boat to Heaven
    And by some chance I had brought my dice along,
    And there I stood, and I hollered,
    “Someone fade me,”
    But the passengers they knew right from wrong
    For the people all said,
    “Sit down, sit down you’re rockin’ the boat.”
    ENSEMBLE:
    People all said,
    “Sit down, sit down you’re rockin’ the boat.”
    NICELY-NICELY:
    “And the devil will drag you under
    By the sharp lapel of your checkered coat;
    Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down
    NICELY-NICELY & ENSEMBLE:
    Sit down you’re rocking the boat.”
    NICELY-NICELY:
    I sailed
    ENSEMBLE:
    OOH…
    NICELY-NICELY:
    Away on that little boat to Heaven
    And by some chance found a bottle in my fist,
    And there I stood,
    Nicely passin’ out the whiskey,
    But the passengers were bound to resist
    For the people all said, “Beware!”
    ENSEMBLE:
    People all said, “beware, beware!”
    NICELY-NICELY:
    You’re on a heavenly trip.”
    People all said, “beware!”
    ENSEMBLE:
    People all said, “beware!”
    NICELY-NICELY:
    “Beware you’ll scuttle the ship;
    And the devil will drag you under
    By the fancy tie ’round your wicked throat;
    Sit down,
    NICELY-NICELY & ENSEMBLE:
    Sit down, sit down, sit down,
    Sit down you’re rockin’ the boat.”
    NICELY-NICELY:
    And as
    ENSEMBLE:
    OOH…
    NICELY-NICELY:
    I laughed at those passengers to Heaven
    Ah, ah, ah, ah!
    A great big wave came and washed me overboard,
    And as I sank, and I hollered,
    “Someone save me,”
    That’s the moment I woke up, thank the Lord!
    ENSEMBLE:
    Thank the Lord, thank the Lord!
    NICELY-NICELY:
    And I said to myself, “Sit down”
    ENSEMBLE:
    Said to himself, “Sit down, sit down”
    NICELY-NICELY:
    “Sit down you’re rocking the boat.”
    Said to myself, “Sit down”
    ENSEMBLE:
    Said to himself, “Sit down”
    NICELY-NICELY:
    “Sit down you’re rocking the boat
    And the devil will drag you under
    ENSEMBLE:
    And the devil will drag you under
    NICELY-NICELY:
    With a soul so heavy you’d never float,
    Sit down
    NICELY-NICELY & ENSEMBLE:
    Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down,
    Sit down you’re rockin’ the boat-
    Sit down you’re rockin’
    Rockin’ the boat
    Sit down you’re rockin’
    Rockin’ the boat
    Sit down you’re rockin’
    Rockin’ the boat
    Sit down you’re rockin’
    Rockin’ the boat…
    Sit down, you Sit down you’re the boat!”
