Written by Sammy Lerner, quoted in Popeye: The First Fifty Years by Bud Sagendorf.
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 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 'erstan'? So, keep "Good Behavor" That's your one life saver With Popeye the Sailor Man.
