Billie Holiday Discography   Lyrics

Jeepers Creepers (1938)

lyrics: Johnny Mercer 

music: Harry Warren

 

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 

Where'd they get that size?

Golly gee! 

When you turn those heaters on
Woe is me! 

Got to put my cheaters on
Jeepers creepers 

Where'd you get those peepers?
Oh! those weepers! 

How they hypnotize, boy
Where'd you get those eyes?
