Jeepers Creepers
Dave Brubeck · Evolution Of An Artist [2011]
Jeepers creepers, where'd you get those eyes?
Gosh, all git up, how'd they get so lit up?
Gosh, all git up, how'd they get that size?
Golly gee, when you turn those heaters on
Woe is me, I gotta put my cheaters on
Jeepers creepers, where'd you get those peepers?
Oh, those weepers, how they hypnotize
Where did you get those eyes?
Golly gee, when you turn those heaters on
Woe is me, gotta put my cheaters on
Jeepers creepers, where did you get those peepers?
Oh, those weepers, how they hypnotize
Where did you get those eyes?
