Group Hitchhike Hitchhike
Popeye

street
Uh Huh

Popeye
CC Clapping both his
hand to the beat
Oh Yeah

CC Tryin’ hard to bum a ride
Group Popeye
CC Tryin’ but
none come around
They go by
Hey
Group Popeye
Well now clap your
hands
And thumb your thumbs
That’s how the Popeye dance is
done
Popeye
CC Standing there and it’s gettin’ cold
Oh

Group Hitchhike Hitchhike
Popeye
CC Shakin’ now to warm up his
soul
Uh Huh

Double turn [and with the thumb]
Group Popeye
CC Tryin’ but nobody
comes
They go by
Hey
Group Popeye
Well now clap your hands
And
thumb your thumbs
That’s how the Popeye dance is
done
Yeah
(Instrumental Break)
Popeye
CC Standin’ there and
it’s gettin’ late

Dancin’ there and he’s movin’ great
Oh Yeah
