POPEYE, THE SAILOR MAN


Al Dollar & His Ten Cent Band (vocal: Billy Murray) - 1931





Ahoy there me hearties!

There's a man that ev'ry little kid adores
They like him even better than old Santy Claus
He's the greatest man his country ever knew
Gee, you ought to know who I'm referrin' to

Popeye, the sailor man
Popeye, the sailor man
Ev'rybody knows his goil
She's the well known Olive Oyl

Popeye, the sailor man fights like no one can
Who can sock like dynamite
Who can love like he can fight
Popeye, Popeye, what a sailor man

Popeye, the sailor man
Popeye, the sailor man
When he kisses Olive's cheeks
She stays black and blue for weeks

Popeye, the sailor man, oh boy, what a man
Doesn't smile and doesn't frown
All he says is, "Blow Me Down!"
Popeye, Popeye, what a sailor man
