POPEYE THE SAILOR MAN

(Written by Sammy Lerner)


Jack Mercer (as the voice of Popeye) - 1935



Oh, I'm Popeye the Sailor Man 

I'm Popeye the Sailor Man 

Why I'm strong to the finich 

'Cause I eats me spinach 

I'm Popeye the Sailor Man


(He's Popeye the Sailor Man)

Yes I am

(He's Popeye the Sailor Man)

You eat your spinach?

(He's strong to the finich)

('Cause he eats his spinach)

(He's Popeye the Sailor Man)

 

Now, I'm one tough gazookus 

Which hates all Palookas 

What ain't on the up and square 

I biffs 'em and boffs 'em 

And always outroughs 'em 

An' none of 'em gets nowhere

 

(If anyone dasses to risk his fist)

(It's 'Boff!' and it's 'Wham!", understand?)

So, keep good Behav'our

That's your one life saver 

With Popeye the Sailor Man 


(He's Popeye the Sailor Man)

Heh-heh-heh-heh

(He's Popeye the Sailor Man)

Skiddle-eee-dee-dee-di-doh

(He's strong to the finich)

('Cause he eats his spinach)

(He's Popeye the Sailor Man)

Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh

(He's Popeye, Popeye, Popeye, Popeye)

Skiddle-eee-dee-dee-di-doh

(Popeye the Sailor Man)

Well, what d'ya know!
