Victory at Sea

Taos kitchen scene

Title courtesy Dept. of Obscure Cultural References. Art work by T. Farr.

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
