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

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
Thats how the Popeye dance is done
Popeye
Standing there and its 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
Thats how the Popeye dance is done
Yeah
(Instrumental Break)
Popeye
Standin?there and its gettin?late
