Billy Costello - I'm Popeye, the Sailor Man (1935)
Music and lyrics by Sammy Lerner

 - Oh, Olive Oyl, Olive Oyl!
 - Here I am, Popeye!
 - Whar's me spinach? Whar's me spinach?
 - My, oh, my, Popeye! But you're eating too much spinach!
 - Well, blow me down!
 - Is that right, Popeye? Eat all the spinach to make those big muscles?
 - Nah! Taint so! I yam what I yam on accounta I eats me spinach!


Oh, I'm Popeye the Sailor Man
I'm Popeye the Sailor Man
I yam what's I yam
and that's all what's I am
I'm Popeye the Sailor Man

Now, I'm one tough gazookus
what hates all palookas
wot ain'ts on the ups and square
Boy, I biffs 'em and buffs 'em
and always out roughs 'em
but none of 'em gets nowhere

Now, 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

Oh, I'm Popeye the Sailor Man
Popeye the Sailor Man
I yam what's I yam
and that's all what's I am
I'm Popeye the Sailor Man

Oh, I'm Popeye the Sailor Man
Popeye the Sailor Man
Boy, I'm strong to the "finich"
'cause I eats me spinach
I'm Popeye the Sayyyyyy-luuurrrr Mannnnnnn!
