Peek-A-Boo
Daphne & Celeste Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's late, it's creepy, feelin' kinda freaky
All alone in the car - who knows where we are
See that sign we just passed?
It said don't trespass

We're running outta gas, get out of here fast
There's a house - over there
You can knock if ya dare
Voices and shadows comin' through the windows

Some ones heading for the door
If he's weird then he's yours
Hammer house party at Amityville
We're ready for you an' dressed to kill

Peek-a-boo!
There's a mummy in Armani
And a ghost that walks right through you (so rude)
Peek-a-boo (sounds like Pikachu)

Dancin' with a zombie
Those guys sure know how to party
We've crashed a party - a party - a real monster party
Hear the bass is pumpin' - the place is really jumpin'

Say hey! Green boy from outta space
Gotta real nice place you - shame about the face!
Voodoo man over there wants to shrink your pumpkin head
Freddy Kruger's coming out to get ya

That's O.K., it's alright you
In the crypt tonight
Hammer house part at Amityville
We're ready for you an' dressed to kill

Peek-a-boo!
There's a mummy in Armani
And a ghost that walks right through you (so rude)
Peek-a-boo (sounds like Pikachu)

Dancin' with a zombie
Those guys sure know how to party
Boo! - Chuckys swingin' from the chandelier
Bo-hoo! - Lizard man cries crocodile tears

Ahhooohh! - Wolfman sure got shiney teeth
All the better to eat you with!
Peek-a-boo!
There's a mummy in Armani

And a ghost that walks right through you (so rude)
Peek-a-boo (sounds like Pikachu)
Dancin' with a zombie
Those guys sure know how to party





Caspers a sap!
Ahh don't say that you're so mean!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Daphne & Celeste's "Peek-A-Boo" describe an eerie late-night adventure that the singers embark on. They are driving in a car, running out of gas and lost, when they pass a sign that warns against trespassing. They spot a house and decide to investigate, even though there are eerie shadows and voices that can be heard within.


The house turns out to be a bizarre monster party, with guests such as a mummy in Armani, a zombie, and a voodoo man. The lyrics are filled with references to horror movies and pop culture, such as Freddy Kruger and Chucky. The singers dance and party with these monsters, unafraid of their otherworldly appearance.


The song speaks to the idea of enjoying and embracing the strange and unusual, rather than fearing it. It encourages the listener to let go of their inhibitions and have fun in unexpected situations. Additionally, the use of horror references and spooky imagery adds a layer of whimsy and humor to a typically scary genre.
