Jeepers Creepers
Joe Loss 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?
The opening lyrics of Joe Loss's song Jeepers Creepers speak of a bright outlook on life, regardless of what the weather may bring. The singer claims indifference to the weather, as he is certain that the sun will shine. This statement can be interpreted as a metaphor for the way the singer tackles life, choosing to focus on the positive in situations and refusing to let negativity bring him down. He is saying that no matter what obstacles may come his way, he will remain optimistic and look on the bright side of things.
The next stanza of the song mentions a weather vane pointing to "gloomy" and how the singer still sees it as sunny. This suggests that even when others may see things as negative or hopeless, the singer still finds a glimmer of hope and positivity. The final three stanzas abruptly shift in subject matter, as the singer addresses a person with unique eyes. The lyrics wonder where the person got their striking eyes and how they light up, even in a dim room. It is implied that the singer becomes entranced by these eyes, claiming that they "hypnotize" him.

I am not bothered about the weather report

The direction of the weather vane doesn't matter to me
