Letra:
I'm popeye the Sailor Man
I'm popeye the Sailor Man
I'm strong to the Finich
Cuz I eat me spinach
I'm popeye the Sailor Man.
I'm one tough gazookus
Which hates all Palookas
Wot ain't on the up and square
I biffs 'em and buffs em
An' always out-roughs em
an' none of 'em gits no-where.
If anyone dasses to risk
My "Fisk" it's "Boff" an'
It's "Wham" un understans?
So, keep "Good Behavor"
That's your one life saver
With Popeye the Sailor Man
