Jeepers Creepers

In "Jeepers Creepers" lyricist Mercer put together a lyric based primarily on a collection of teen-age slang of the 30s, including the rhyming of "jeepers creepers" with "peepers" and "weepers," and "heaters" with "cheaters." This swinging tribute to a young lady's ocular attractions was written especially for Louis Armstrong, whose mellow growl presented it first on the screen in Going Places and then on a best-selling record.
Words by Johnny Mercer
Music by Harry Warren
Jeepers Creepers!
Where'd ya get those peepers?
Jeepers Creepers!
Where'd ya 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!
Got to put my cheaters on.
Jeepers Creepers!
Where'd ya get those peepers?
Oh! Those weepers! How they hypnotize!
Where'd ya get those eyes?
