"Popeye The Sailor"
By Scott Walpole
ARCADIAN 2, no. 2 (Dec. 22, 1979): 17.


This program plays "Popeye the Sailor."  The lyrics, as printed in the 
"Arcadian" are:

3   5  5   5   40  3  50   5    50
I'm Popeye the sailor man (toot toot)

5 6    4  6 80 6    50   5    50
I live in a garbage can (toot toot)

5 6    4  6  8   7    6    5   6  5   3 1
I like to go swimmin' with bow-legged wimin
                         (women)
3   5  5   5   60  7  80    8    8
I'm Popeye the sailor man! (toot toot)


These lyrics are the sort of lyrics that a kid might sing-- and I actually DO 
remember singing them this way in elementary school.  However, the actual 
lyrics to the song are more like this:


I'm Popeye the Sailor Man,
I'm Popeye the Sailor Man.
I'm strong to the finich
Cause I eats 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
And always out roughs 'em
But none of 'em gets nowhere.

If anyone dares to risk my "Fisk",
It's "Boff" an' it's "Wham" un'erstan'?
So keep "Good Be-hav-or"
That's your one life saver
With Popeye the Sailor Man.

I'm Popeye the Sailor Man,
I'm Popeye the Sailor Man.
I'm strong to the finich
Cause I eats me spinach.
I'm Popeye the Sailor Man.
