Tony Bennett and The Count Basie Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jee-pers, cree-pers, where'd ya get those eyes?
Gosh all, git up, how'd they get so lit up?
Gosh all, git up, how's they get that size?
Golle gee! When you turn those heat-ers on
Woe is me, got to put my cheat-ers on.
Jee-pers, cree-pers, where'd ya get those pee-pers?
Oh, those wee-pers, how they hyp-no-tize!
Where'd ya get those eyes?
The lyrics to Tony Bennett Count Basie and his Orchestra's song "Jeepers Creepers" are playful and flirty in nature. The singer is enamored by the eyes of the person they are singing to, and they express this admiration through exaggeration and using charming phrases like "Gosh all, git up" and "Golle Gee." The first stanza is a series of rhetorical questions, wondering where the person got their stunning eyes and how they got that size. In the second stanza, they reveal that when the person turns their "heat-ers on," they have to put their "cheat-ers" on, meaning they need to wear glasses to see clearly. The final line, "Oh, those wee-pers, how they hyp-no-tize," reinforces the fact that the singer is completely mesmerized by the person's eyes.

@hilltopviewer8204
Yes,the tone of his voice is in my opinion much more laid back and smooth than the Rat Pack,I had to go and by this album on vinyl,great tunes on the album and Count Basie swinging with the band.I also love Chicago and Anything Goes,its the way Tony adds his own stance on a song that makes it cool.Good to see Tony in Dublin,Ireland a few years ago.I was amazed to see him place the microphone on the piano and just sing out,the pure power of his voice just moved the audience.Thanks for your upload!
