Chubby Checker › Lyrics › Popeye the Hitchiker

Hitchhike, hitchhike

(Popeye)
Standin' on the side of the street, uh huh
Hitchhike, hitchhike

(Popeye)
Clappin' 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)
Standin' 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 timing with that 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

(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
Sees a gorgeous chick drive by
(Popeye)
She just stops and hollers, "Hi"
That lucky guy, don't you know, Popeye?

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

(Fly)
Hitchhike, hitchhike
(Hey)
Hitchhike, hitchhike
And it’s gon’ tell you gonna fly
