Popeye Song Folio Preface

"When Vee and I were little girls, of course we played with toys

But we were not as fortuate as all you girls and boys

A doll--a game--and Mother Goose--a sled--a big tin horn

We had to be content with these, 'cause Popey wasn't born

Today we meet him everywhere, and so we can't complain

'Cause even tho we're both grown up, we feel like kids again

We see him in the funnies, on the screen, in picture books

He's strong, and brave, and loyal, tho he isn't much for looks

But Vee and I decided there's one place he belongs

That's why we go together and wrote these little songs

We showed them all to Popeye, who gave us his okay

He said, "Ahoy there kids! Come on--let's hear you sing and play"

So open up the pages, and you will find a lot

Of little tingle jingle songs from Popeye"--Vee and Tot

"There isn't much that we can add except a line or two,

to say that we have written songs that Popeye sang to you,

You've heard them on the screeen, no doubt, and now you'll find them here,

So give'er sail and heave away in voices aloud and clear--

If you should ever find that being happy's quite a job,

Just open up this book and call on Popeye"--Sam and Bob
