(Verse 1)
In a world of salt and spray, where the heavy anchors drop,
There’s a man in a sailor’s suit who never knows when to stop.
With a pipe clenched in his teeth and a squint in his eye,
He watches the horizon beneath a stormy sky.
He’s not the biggest fellow, and his grammar’s kind of rough,
But when the chips are down, he’s more than strong enough.
(Chorus)
Oh, he’s Popeye the Sailor Man,
With a heart of gold and a can in his hand.
From the docks of the harbor to the deep rolling blue,
He’ll fight for what’s right and he’ll see the day through.
Give him a squeeze of that garden green,
The toughest sailor that you’ve ever seen!
(Verse 2)
There’s a lady named Olive, so tall and so thin,
Whenever she’s in trouble, that’s where he begins.
Old Blutus is lurking, with a growl and a fist,
Thinking he’s the master, putting Popeye on the list.
But the sailor doesn't worry, he doesn't feel the dread,
He’s got a secret weapon to get him out of the red.
(Bridge)
He pops the lid, the spinach flows,
The muscle in his forearm suddenly grows!
The whistle blows, the engine starts to roar,
He’s a whirlwind of power, hitting like a shore!
(Verse 3)
A punch like a piston, a spirit that won’t break,
He leaves a trail of justice in every single wake.
He doesn't need a crown, and he doesn't need the fame,
Just a bit of Vitamin K to live up to his name.
So if you’re feeling weak and you’re backed against the wall,
Remember the sailor who stands ten feet tall.
(Chorus)
Oh, he’s Popeye the Sailor Man,
With a heart of gold and a can in his hand.
From the docks of the harbor to the deep rolling blue,
He’ll fight for what’s right and he’ll see the day through.
Give him a squeeze of that garden green,
The toughest sailor that you’ve ever seen!
(Outro)
(To the tune of the classic theme)
He’s strong to the fin-ich,
'Cause he eats his spin-ach.
He’s Popeye the Sailor Man!
*Toot-toot!*
