[Olive Oyl]
Popeye, dear, we cannot wed.
Popeye, dear, we cannot wed.
Popeye, dear, we cannot wed.
I love another sailor.

[Popeye]
Who's the guy who won your heart?
[Olive Oyl]
It's Barnacle Bill the sailor.
[Popeye]
Who's the guy who thinks he's smart?
[Olive Oyl]
It's Barnacle Bill the sailor.
[Popeye]
Why, that false heart and flattering tongue.
He courts them all, both old and young.
He courts them all but marries none,
Your Barnacle Bill the sailor.

[Olive Oyl]
But he's strong and handsome, too.
But he's strong and handsome, too.
But he's strong and handsome, too.
My Barnacle Bill the sailor.

[Popeye]
I'll twist his toes
And squeeze the nose
Of Barnacle Bill the sailor!
I'll mop the place
With his false face,
That Barnacle Bill the sailor!
I'll grab him by his dirty neck,
And when I'm through he'll be a wreck.
I'll sweep and smear and swab the deck
With Barnacle Bill the sailor!

[Knock! Knock!]
[Olive Oyl]
Who's that knocking at my door?
Who's that knocking at my door?
Who's that knocking at my door?
Tell the fair young maiden.

[Barnacle Bill]
It's only me from over the sea.
It's Barnacle Bill the sailor.
I've come to take you away with me.
I'm Barnacle Bill the sailor.

Hurry before you get me sore.
I'll rare and tear and rant and roar!
Hurry before I bust in the door!
It's Barnacle Bill the sailor!


[Olive Oyl]
Here I come to let you in.
Here I come to let you in.
Here I come to let you in.
My Barnacle Bill the sailor.

[Barnacle Bill]
No one ever challenges me!
[Popeye]
Says Barnacle Bill the sailor.
[Barnacle Bill]
I'm the terror of the sea!
[Popeye]
Says Barnacle Bill the sailor.

[Barnacle Bill]
A fe and a fi and a fo and a fum!
Yo he ho and a bottle of rum!
Before your silly old day is done!
[Popeye]
Says Barnacle Bill the sailor.

[Olive Oyl]
Popeye, dear, I love you best.
Popeye, dear, I love you best.
Popeye, dear, I love you best.
When will we get married?

[Popeye]
I've changed me mind, so you can wed
Your Barnacle Bill the sailor.
You're nothing but a cabbage-head.

Every dame's a selfish cat.
They only turn and leave you flat.
Just the way you did to that
Poor Barnacle Bill the sailor.
