I’m Popeye the Sailor man

The original verse (from the cartoon) first showed up in 1933, with the cartoon - and Popeye would sing different additional verses based on the particular episode. That original verse is:

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.

The first shown verse at the top here is what kids made up for fun.

This poem is so weird. You should change it. I wouldn’t recommend you let children read this poem.

Popeye the Sailor Man, he lived in a garbage can
He was strong to the fin-ich, cause he ate a steady diet of spinach.
He was Popeye the Sailor Man.

This was likely the lyrics many of my classmates at school sang the song "Popeye the Sailor Man". They would sing it in the playing field during recess.

I’m popeye the sailor man.
I live in a garbage can.
I always go swimmin’
with bald headed womin,
I’m popeye the sailor man!

And then there is granny,
swinging on the outhouse door,
without her nightie,
Waiting for the garbage man
To have a party,
Swinging on the outhouse door.

When I was a kid we sang the "frying pan/turned on the gas and I burned my a**" version that's been mentioned, and also this variant:

I'm Popeye the sailor man
I live in a garbage can
I eat all the junk and I smell like a skunk
I'm Popeye the sailor man...

It's crazy how one specific child a long time ago came up with the "...live in a garbage can" version, and from there on other children repeated it, and spread it all around the continent over generations and generations and now millions of people know it. I wonder who that one child was and when they made it up. We'll never know.

Cause I’m Popeye the sailor man.

    About

    This is a collection of my favourite songs, rhymes, riddles and poems. Many of them I remember from my childhood and many of them I have discovered since then.

    I still sing many of these songs to this day, whether it is with my own children or the children that I teach at school. I find them a great means of stress relief both in and out of the classroom.

    Most of these songs should be in the public domain. You will also find that there are multiple versions for each song or rhyme. Please feel free to share your variation, request some sheet music or inform me of any funny songs that should be added to the list..
