Popeye (The Hitchhiker)

Hitchhike

Hitchhike

Popeye

Standing on the side of the street

Uh huh

Hitchhike

Hitchhike

Popeye

Clapping both his hand to the beat

Oh yeah

Hitchhike

Hitchhike

Hey

Popeye

Tryin' hard to bum a ride

Popeye

Tryin' but none come around

They go by

Hey

Popeye

Well now clap your hands

And thumb your thumbs

That's how the popeye dance is done

Popeye

Standing there and it's gettin' cold

Oh yeah

Hitchhike

Hitchhike

Popeye

Shakin' now to warm up his soul

Uh huh

Hitchhike

Hitchhike

Hey

Popeye

Double turn and with the thumb

Popeye

Tryin' but nobody comes

They go by

Hey

Popeye

Well now clap your hands

And thumb your thumbs

That's how the popeye dance is done

Yeah

Popeye

Standin' there and it's gettin' late

Oh yeah

Hitchhike

Hitchhike

Popeye

Dancin' there and he's movin' great

Oh yeah

Hitchhike

Hitchhike

Yeah

Popeye

She's a gorgeous chick all fine

She just stops and hollers hi

That lucky guy

Don't cha know

Popeye

Well now clap your hands

And thumb your thumbs

That's how the popeye dance is done

Fly

Hey

Popeye
