Amazingly, the version I best recall isn't in your post or the popeye website although you did allude to one of the key rhymes in your piece.

My eldest kids (nearly 4 and 2 1/2)are absolutely enthralled by them. Given the choice of last year's "Superman Returns"(not a bad fillum at all) and these they go for old ones every time.
