Jeepers Creepers

Dave Brubeck · Evolution Of An Artist [2011]

Jeepers creepers, where'd you get those peepers?

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?
