Popeye the Sailor
Greek Mirthology
♪ Open you mouth and close your eyes, here comes a nice surprise. ♪
♪ Skittle de dum and skittle de doo, I get some spinach for all of you! ♪
Here you are. Pipeye, Peepeye, Pupeye, and Poopeye.
But we hate spinach!
Huh?
You got to eat you spinach if you wants to be strong like your great, great, great, Uncle Hercules.
Hercules! Our uncle! He was strong! He was great! He didn't get that way from the spinach he ate?
Certainly, it's a hysterical fact.
I'll tell you the story how it happened.
Once upon a time, a long time ago, in a distant land, far away,
there lived the strongest man in the world and the people's best friend, Hercules!
One day while Hercules was riding along in his chariot, he saw a baby bird fall off a tree.
Jumping out of his chariot, he ran to the bird to see what happened.
Now, so's he can help the birdie, he has to get strength.
So he takes a piece of strong garlic and sniffs it.
And with his strength, he pushed, and pushed, and pushed the big tree into the earth.
Hercules was awful strong, but very tender.
It was garlic that made him strong. Where does the spinach part belong?
Don't come to inclusions, you ain't heard everything yet.
Like I was saying, one day a big bull headed bully come to Hercules' neighborhood.
[laughs] So Hercules thinketh him strongest man on earth.
In my hand, he feel like dirt.
Scrameth! Seizeth! Helpeth! Helpeth!
Fleeeth for thy life!
Hercules, I challenge thee.
I accepteth. [echoes]
So Hercules accepted the big bully's challenge to feats of strength.
Top this, sport.
Huh?
Gee Uncle Popeye. It still wasn't spinach what made him win.
Don't interrupt me. I ain't finished yet.
So mountain to mountains, the men challenged each other in a tug of war.
Get ready, set, go!
[laughs]
The garlic!
I'll fix that for good.
I'll fixeth thee and how.
Mine strength! Gone!
One good blow and thou are through!
Spinach! A strange weed this be. What restoreth my vitality!
How come you got strength without garlic?
Better than garlic is Spinach!
So Hercules knocked the big bully for a row of ash cans.
So kiddies, that's why you has to eat your spinach...
Huh?
Ice cream is hot stuff.
You said it, sport!
