Listen to poem:

Popeye and Olive’s Spinach Spree

I’m Popeye the Sailor Man
I gulp spinach straight from the can
I yam what I yam, and that’s all that I am—
I’m Popeye the Sailor Man!
I’m strong to the finish,
’cause I gulp down my spinach,
I’m Popeye the Sailor Man!

Now Olive Oyl, she made a vow—
“No spinach for me, not ever, not now!”
But she’ll kiss me tonight,
’cause she knows I can fight,
And just what a green slurp, can do
when it's downed in one big chew.

Old Bluto came a'stormin’ by,
With trouble flaring deep in his eye—
He’s such a nasty badass brute,
He tried to snatch Olive and scoot,
But I sent him high and flying,
spinning, yelling and crying!
There’s no denying the might in a man
who can pop open spinach in a can.  

I'm Popeye the Sailor man
I eats spinach straight from a can
I’m strong to the finich,
’cause I eats me spinach,
Getting cheers from the crowd,
When I fighting screaming out loud
I’m Popeye the Sailor Man! 
I’m Popeye the Sailor Man!
