I'M Popeye the Sailor Man

I’m Popeye the sailor man! I eat spinach squeezed out of a can; but Bluto is crucial, no matter how brutal, to me opening, such a large spinach can. And Pluto the dog, he gets lost in a fog, while Bluto ties up Olive Oil. Thus, my muscles grow larger, by raiding nature’s larder, for I take them straight out of the can. And Olive I rescue, from quicksand or train, for I have usurped, the big fellah’s game. So nothing can stop me, on USA soil, from rescuing my darling, my dear Olive Oil. Then when into my arms, I do gently urge her, stumbles in Wimpy for a tasty cheese burger; But ructions soon follow, and on my boot he does wallow; and into the sunset go Popeye and brave Olive Oil. Composed for the Cartoon Character Comp
