Jeepers creepers
Where’d you get those peepers?
Jeepers creepersWhere’d you get those eyes?
Gosh all git up
How’d they get so lit up?
Gosh all git upWhere’d they get that size?
Golly gee!
When you turn those heaters on
Woe is me!Got to put my cheaters on
Jeepers creepersWhere’d you get those peepers?
Oh! those weepers!How they hypnotize, boy
Where’d you get those eyes?
