Lyrics:

(Hitchhike
Hitchhike)

(Popeye) Standin' on the side of the street, uh-huh
(Hitchhike, hitchhike)
(Popeye) Clappin' both his hands to the beat, oh yeah
(Hitchhike, hitchhike, yeah) Hey
(Popeye) Tryin' hard to bum a ride
(Popeye) Tryin' but no come around
They go by, hey (Popeye)

(Well, now clap your hands and thumb your thumb
That's how the Popeye dance is done)

(Popeye) Standin' there, and it's gettin' cold, oh yeah
(Hitchhike, hitchhike)
(Popeye) Shakin' now to warm up his soul, uh-huh-huh
(Hitchhike, hitchhike) Hey
(Popeye) Double timin' with that thumb
(Popeye) Tryin' but nobody come
They go by, hey (Popeye)

(Well, now clap your hands and thumb your thumb
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) Hey
(Popeye) She's a gorgeous chick by far
(Popeye) She's a-stopped and hollered, 'Hi!'
That lucky guy, doncha know (Popeye)

(Well now, clap your hands and thumb your thumb
That's how the Popeye dance is done)

Bye (Hitchhike, hitchhike, hey)
Popeye (Hitchhike) hey (hitchhike)
