Lyrics Harry Nilsson

Harry Nilsson

I Yam What I Yam

You don't have to be no fish to tell when you're flounderin'

What am I? Some kind of barnacles on the dinghy of life?

I ain't no doctors but I knows when I'm losin' me patiensk

What am I? Some kind of judge, or a lawyer?

Aw, maybe not; but I knows what laws suits me

So what am I? I ain't no physciscisk, but I knows what matters

What am I? I'm Popeye, the sailor

And I yam what I yam what I yam and I yam what I yam and that's all that I yam 'cause I yam what I yam

And I gots a lot of muskle and I only gots one eye

And I never hurts nobodys and I'll never tell a lie

Tops to me bottoms and me bottoms to me top

And that's the way it is 'till the day that I drop

What am I?

I yam what I yam!

I yam what I yam what I yam what I yam what I yam

I can open up an ocean I can take a lot of sail

I can lose a lot of waters and I'll never have to bail

On the coast of Madagascar I used a blanket for a sail

What am I?

What am I?

I yam what I yam!

I'm Popeye, the sailor

I'm Popeye, the sailor

I'm Popeye, the sailor

I yam what I yam and that's all that I yam

I yam what I yam what I yam what I yam

I'm Popeye the sailor man!
