Uncle Phil - Raised by Popeye

I yam what I yam
That's all I yam

We were taught by our mum and dad
Told what was good and what was bad
Don't go down in the woods tonight
You might get a terrible fright
Don't go on your own into the park
Stay in the light don't go in the dark
Come straight home when it's time for tea

Raised by Popeye and knew we could
Have a lot of fun and still be good
Squinty-eyed sailor with the bulgy arms
Taught us how to keep ourselves from harm

I yam what I yam
That's all I yam

Our parents gave us love and care
Brushed our teeth and combed our hair
Don't talk to strangers in the street
Wash your hands and wipe your feet
Play nicely now, don't start a fight
Time for bed now, nighty-night
Come straight home when it's time for tea

Raised by Popeye and Olive it's true
Swee'Pea and Wimpy and Pappy too
Eating his spinach to make him strong
Showing us how to tell right from wrong

I yam what I yam
That's all I yam

Top to me bottom, bottom to me top
That's the way it is, 'til the day I drop

Raised by Popeye and knew we could
Have a lot of fun and still be good
Squinty-eyed sailor with the bulgy arms
Taught us how to keep ourselves from harm

I yam what I yam
That's all I yam
