Lyrics:

(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

(Popeye)

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

That's how the popeye dance is done

Popeye)

Standing there and it's 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

That's how the popeye dance is done

Yeah)

(Popeye)

Standin' there and it's gettin' late

Oh yeah

(Hitchhike, Hitchhike, Popeye)

Dancin' there and he's movin' great

Oh yeah

(Hitchhike, Hitchhike)

Yeah

(Popeye)

She's a gorgeous chick all fine

She just stops and hollers hi

That lucky guy

Don't cha know

(Popeye)

(Well now clap your hands

And thumb your thumbs

That's how the popeye dance is done)

Fly

Hey

(Popeye)
