Where'd you get them peepers?
Jeepers, creepers
Where'd you get those eyes?
Gosh oh, git up
How'd they get so lit up?
Gosh oh, gee oh
How'd they get that size?
Golly gee
When you turn them heaters on
Woe is me
Got to put my cheaters on
Jeepers, creepers
Where'd ya get them peepers
Oh, those weepers
How they hypnotize
Jeepers, creepers
Where'd your get them peepers
Oh, those weepers
How they hypnotize
Where did your get those
Golly where'd your get those
Where did your get them there eyes?
