I'm Sinbad the Sailor is a song from Fleischer's classic 1936 Popeye two-reeler Popeye the Sailor Meets Sinbad the Sailor. The song was written by Sammy Timberg and lyricist Bob Rothberg, and it was performed by Gus Wickie as Sinbad. In 1936, Popeye the Sailor Meets Sinbad the Sailor was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Short Subject: Cartoons. In 2004 the "culturally significant" Popeye short was selected for preservation at the Library of Congresses' National Film Registry. In 1994, the film was voted #17 on the list of all-time greatest cartoons. In 1952, segments of Popeye the Sailor Meets Sinbad the Sailor were re-edited and used for the 1952 Famous Studios' Popeye short Big Bad Sinbad.

I'M SINBAD THE SAILOR
I'm Sindbad the Sailor, so hearty and hale,
I live on an island on the back of a whale.
It's a whale of an island (that's not a bad joke),
Its lord and its master is this handsome bloke!
Ohhhh, who's the most remarkable, extra-ordinary fellow?
(Lions roar)
Sindbad the Sailor!
I scare all creation, on land or on sea,
But talk about women, they all fall for me!
I take my adventures wherever they're found,
I don't wanna brag, folks, but I've been around!
Ohhhh, who's the most phenomenal, extra special kind of fellow?
(Beasts roar)
Sindbad the Sailor!
From the Valley of Serpents, these diamonds I took.
I cleaned out those serpents with one dirty look!
(Heh, heh, serpents...)
(Boola growls)
Now look at this monster, so strong and so huge,
He'd frighten King Kong, but he's only my stooge!
The capture of Boola for me was just fun.
Whoever said two heads are better than one?!
(Sindbad laughs, Boola grunts as he breaks his chains, then growls at Sindbad)
Who's the most remarkable, extra-ordinary fellow?
(Youse, Simlaus the Sailor!)
(Heh, heh, stooge...)
(How do you like-a that?! Stooge! *mumbling*)
On one of my travels, I ran into THIS!
Now there was a thrill I'd be sorry to miss!
(Rokh screeches)
He spread out his wings and the sunlight grew dim,
He took me in his beak, but I ran off with HIM!
Ohhhh, who's the most remarkable, extra-ordinary fellow?
(Rokh screeches)
Sindbad the Sailor!
Who's the most phenomenal, extra special kind of fellow?
(Giant serpent screeches)
Sindbad the Sailor!
I'm afraid of nobody under the sun!
All I say is "BOO!" and my enemies run!
Who's the most remarkable, extra-ordinary fellow?
(Popeye interrupts with his theme)
I'm Sindbad the Sailor, so hearty and hale,
