Jeepers Creepers
Dotsero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the weatherman says it's raining
You'll never hear me complaining
I'm certain the sun will shine
I don't care how the weather vane points
When the weather vane points to gloomy
It's gotta be sunny to me
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?

I don't care what the weatherman says
I am not bothered about the prediction given by the weatherman
When the weatherman says it's raining
Even if the weatherman says it's raining
You'll never hear me complaining
I will not complain or grumble about the weather
I'm certain the sun will shine
I still believe we will see sunshine
I don't care how the weather vane points
It doesn't matter how the wind blows
When the weather vane points to gloomy
Even if the wind is pointed towards a dull weather
It's gotta be sunny to me
I am hopeful that it will turn out sunny
When your eyes look into mine
As long as I look into your eyes
Jeepers creepers, where'd ya get those peepers?
Curiously asking about the person's eyes
Jeepers creepers, where'd ya get those eyes?
Asking about the person's eyes in amazement
Gosh all, git up, how'd they get so lit up?
Expressing surprise and curiosity about the brightness of the eyes
Gosh all, git up, how'd they get that size?
Expressing amazement about the size of the eyes
Golly gee, when you turn those heaters on
An expression for becoming flustered when the person is attractive
Woe is me, got to put my cheaters on
Suggesting that the singer needs glasses to see clearly
Jeepers creepers, where'd ya get those peepers?
Asking again about the person's eyes
Oh, those weepers, how they hypnotize!
Commenting on how the eyes are entrancing
Where'd ya get those eyes?
Once again, just asking in wonder about the person's eyes

I remember seeing these guys at the York Street Cafe in Denver back in 1994. It was a great performance.

Love this track. Really badass sax. Wow!
carnadero
This was the first tune I ever heard from them. The second one, Pacific Balcony, is from the same album.

I had a hell of a time finding this song because I was convinced it was done by The Rippingtons. Only on YouTube did I find out it was Dotsero.
jo marie
It was actually written by if i am not mistaken by Stephen Watts and it can be found on their album Live at Jazz@Jack's
DarrylPowell
Russ Freeman produced some of their stuff.
