Chubby Checker - Popeye (The Hitchhiker) Lyrics






Hitchhike
Hitchhike
Popeye
Standing on the side of the street
Uh huh
Hitchhike
Hitchhike
Popeye
Clapping both his hand to the beat
Oh yeah
Hitchhike
Hitchhike
Hey
Popeye
Tryin' hard to bum a ride
Popeye
Tryin' but none come around
They go by
Hey
Popeye

Well now clap your hands
And thumb your thumbs
That's how the popeye dance is done
Popeye
Standing there and it's gettin' cold
Oh yeah
Hitchhike
Hitchhike
Popeye
Shakin' now to warm up his soul
Uh huh
Hitchhike
Hitchhike
Hey
Popeye
Double turn and with the thumb
Popeye
Tryin' but nobody comes
They go by
Hey
Popeye

Well now clap your hands
And thumb your thumbs
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
Yeah
Popeye
She's a gorgeous chick all fine
She just stops and hollers hi
That lucky guy
Don't cha know
Popeye

Well now clap your hands
And thumb your thumbs
That's how the popeye dance is done
Fly
Hey
Popeye

  12. L.... F....

    jump around brought my here

  13. M.... D....

    I don't hear any "Jump Around" in this song....

    M.... D....

    It’s not the whole song, just a brief section of the piano accompaniment, literally just one bar. It sounds different in _Jump Around_ because in the latter that sampled piano section has been slowed down and lowered in pitch.

    M.... D....

    you need to listen a lot harder to the first 5 seconds then.

  14. R.... F....

    Los Apson (a Mexican rock and roll band from the 60's) play a spanish version of this song. good fun song!

    R.... F....

    True, I actually heard that version first. Los Apson Boys were something else with their excellent renditions of such classics. Much love to Mexico particularly Agua Prieta, Sonora from the U.S. Long live rock N roll.

  15. e.... ....

    was it slowed down or just accidentally played at 33 & 1/3 instead of 45rpm???

    Any chance that you could upload that as a video please Sid?

    e.... ....

    Tried it at 33 and it's too slow!

  16. M.... D....

    0:04-0:0.6 slow it down and loop it you have jump around

    M.... D....

    Muggs is a literal genius

  17. M.... D....

    jump around. everlast has got a good taste in music

    M.... D....

    @michael jagger That's all DJ Muggs actually.

    M.... D....

    @PaulPawlPall he produced it. ive actually kind of remade jump around using original samples and a drum loop

    M.... D....

    @Michael David souns fresh

  19. D.... K....
