Now, I don't care what the weather man says
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, when your eyes look into mine
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 get my cheaters on, Jeepers Creepers
Where'd ya get those peepers? On, those weepers
How they hypnotize, where'd ya get those eyes?
Where'd ya get those eyes? Where'd ya get those eyes?

ahora, no me importa lo que diga el hombre del clima
cuando el hombre del lima dice que esta lloviendo
nunca me escucharas quejándome, estoy seguro de que el sol brillara
no me importa como van los puntos del clima
hoy a a estar soleado, cuando tus ojos ven a los mios
santos remedios, de donde sacaste esos ojotes?
santos enredos, de donde sacaste esos ojos?
dios mio, como se pusieron tan saltones?
dios mio, como se pusieron de ese tamaño?
coño, cuando volteas esos calentadores, el lamento es mio
teng
o que tener mis animadoras, santos remedios
de donde sacarías esos ojotes?, en esos llorones
como hipnotizan, de donde sacarías esos ojotes?
de donde sacaste esos ojos? de donde sacaste esos ojos?
