To be the guy that does that, secretly tapes his wife, cuts it into a video, transfers to DVD, and then turning it on in the background for friends of Erin to see and laugh at. Yes. I could totally do that. However, I think I get to pass on this. Not because it wouldn’t be funny, but because I don’t want the quirky things I do to get filmed and cut and transferred to a DVD and then played when the rare friends or even rarer family members come to visit. There are enough things out there that these same people use to embarrass me that I don’t need to add fuel to the fire and as a result, Erin has quirks of her own that I don’t have to tape and share that, I am sure, she doesn’t need fed into the humiliation fire.

Thanks for the suggestion.

If I were your husband, I would definitely try to film this kind of activity without you knowing and then “accidentally” have it in the DVD player sometime when you have company over. I hope you are reading this John. And I hope I am that company.

Erin, The song Pop used to get yelled at involved a flagpole, and a monkey, hahaha. As I spend more time with Cutter I have learned that when you sing to them they do not care as much about the song, as the energy you put into it. Cutter has a few favorite one’s, currently Lets twist again, but he also likes the burpin boogie song, and any others I come up with. A lady that had a baby with acid reflux told Sara that they burp better if move them side to side, so we do both of these songs after his bottle. I bet that is the reason he gets so happy, not my voice. Oh well at least he likes me for now, what more can you ask for?

This is so you will know the words…. got a brass band handy- it sounds even better then….. by the way there are many versions of this song… some my dad would sing and my mom would yell at him for.

The current lyrics include three verses and two bridges; the second verse is the one most commonly sung.

Stand Navy out to sea
Fight our battle cry:
We’ll never change our course
So vicious foes steer shy-y-y-y
Roll out the T. N. T.
Anchors Aweigh
Sail on to victory
And sink their bones to Davy Jones, hooray!
Bridge

Yo ho there shipmate
Take the fighting to the far off seas
Yo ho there messmate
Hear the wailing of the wild banshees
All hands, fire brands
Let’s Blast them as we go. So
Verse 2

Anchors Aweigh my boys
Anchors Aweigh
Farewell to college joys (or “Farewell to foreign shores”)
We sail at break of day day day day
Through our last night ashore
Drink to the foam
Until we meet once more
Here’s wishing you a happy voyage home!
Bridge

Heave a ho there sailor
Everybody drink up while you may
Heave a ho there sailor
For your gonna sail at break of day
Drink away, Drink away,
For you sail at break of day, Hey!
Verse 3

Blue of the Mighty Deep
Gold of God’s Sun
Let these our colors be
Till all time be done
On seven seas we learn
Navy’s stern call
Faith, Courage, Service True
With Honor Over, Honor Over All.
