Popeye in a Red Pedallo

Well we set sail on a sunny day, the sea was like a pond
Off the Spanish coast, with the Holy Ghost sail the father and the son
It was full speed ahead and then you said I'm Popeye the Sailor man
With the sky so blue, just me and you setting off for a far off land

Don't you fear mate, ev'rything is shipshape, have a can of spinach you're Popeye the Sailor
Batten down the hatches, pass me the baler, we'll get her in if we have another tin
We'll beat the weather if we pull together

Well your five and a half your game for a laugh and you're Popeye the sailor man
And I'm your old man doin' the best I can and you're giving it your all
In a red pedalo, boy can it go, off the coast of Arrenal
We're a good way out and there's no doubt we've run into a squall

Don't you fear mate, ev'rything is shipshape, have a can of spinach you're Popeye the Sailor
Batten down the hatches, pass me the baler, we'll get her in if we have another tin
We'll beat the weather if we pull together

So we turn around, head for solid ground but we're making no headway
And I'm pedalling hard just to stand still and you've done enough for today
Bobbing up and down hoping not to drown, like it's all just part of the fun
The last thing we need's an asthma attack, your inhaler's ashore with your mum

Don't you fear mate, ev'rything is shipshape, have a can of spinach you're Popeye the Sailor
Batten down the hatches, pass me the baler, we'll get her in if we have another tin
We'll beat the weather if we pull together

Pedalling nowhere fast, trying hard to last, trying not to show my fear
Said a prayer or two, had a thought that you pedalling too would get us near
Realise that in the eyes of a child there's nothing can't be done
So with a cargo of spinach, only we could see, we opened 'em one by one
And we pedalled like mad, just you and your dad with the sharks not far behind
Past the giant squid, me and me kid, Popeye the sailor man

Don't you fear mate, ev'rything is shipshape, have a can of spinach you're Popeye the Sailor
Batten down the hatches, pass me the baler, we'll get her in if we have another tin
We'll beat the weather if we pull together

Now you're twenty-two, with a lot to do and your voyage just begun
Hope you think of me, if you're all at sea and you feel you need a chum
Cause I think of you and remember how together we made full speed
And it makes me laugh and it makes me cry, if you ever feel the need
I'll be at your side and together we'll ride out our problems by and by
In a red pedallo once again we'll go sailing under a cloudless sky
And we'll pedal like mad, just you and your dad leave those sharks way off behind
Past the giant squid, me and me kid, Popeye the sailor man

Don't you fear mate, ev'rything is shipshape, have a can of spinach you're Popeye the Sailor
Batten down the hatches, pass me the baler, we'll get her in if we have another tin
We'll beat the weather if we pull together
