Jeepers Creepers

Verse:

I don't care what the weatherman 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;

Chorus:

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?

Movie version (without dialogue):

Beginnings:

(P:) Oh, oh, oh, what a...
(P & C:) Oh, what a...
(P & C:) Oh, what a horse was...
(P:) Charlie
(C:, echoing) Charlie.
(J:) Who put the bail for mother?

Chorus 1:

(P:) Oh, what a horse was Charlie,
(P & C:) Till he got a charley horse.
(P:) The crowds used to cheer him,
They stood on their chairs;
(C:) No horses got near him
Excepting the mares.
(H:) He'd have a meal of barley,
And then he'd burn up the course.
(J:) They're off at Saratoga,
(H:) They're off at San Faran..
(C:) They're off at Tallahassee,
(H:) But Charlie's on his...
(P:) Can you imagine it had to happen to Charlie?
(J:) God bless her and keep her, a mother macabre.

Chorus 2:

(All:) Oh, what a horse was Charlie,
Till he got a charley horse.
(H:) They made him a gelding
To increase his pace;
But he needed welding,
To place in a race.
(J:) He never won a parlee...
(J:) He never won a parley,
He ran out on ev'ry course.
(P:) Now here's how Charlie's crew works,
They get him out on the track;
(C:) They simply mention glue works,
And nothing can hold him back.
(All:) Oh, what a horse was Charlie,
Till he got a charley horse.

Chorus 3:

(All:) Oh, what a horse was Charlie,
Till he got a charley horse.
The crowds cheered and sang tales
Of his form and speed;
He led all the bang tails
When they went to feed.
Don't place the blame on Charlie,
You must consider his source.
(H:) His father gave up racing
(P:) To join a polo team;
(J:) His mother's at a dairy
(C:) Delivering milk and cream.
(H, P & J:) Oh, what a horse was Charlie,
Till he got a charley horse.

Chorus 4:

(H, P & J:) Oh, what a horse was Charlie,
Till he got a charley horse.
(H:) He still is the strongest,
(P:) He still is the best;
(J:) He still is the bravest,
(C:) He chases the rest.
(All:) He is particularley,
The horse the jockeys endorse.
(J:) I'm leading at the quarter,
(H:) I'm leading at the half;
(J:) You're way out at the finish,
(H:) Wait, how's the photograph?
(All:) Oh, what a horse was Charlie,
Till he got a charley horse.

Chorus 5 (later in movie):

(J:) Oh, what a horse is Jeepers,
(H:) To run in a steeple chase.
(J:) The grandstand will cheer him,
He'll jump high and wide;
(H:) And Randall will ride him
Or go for a ride.
(J & H:) Oh, what a horse is Jeepers,
Till he got a charley horse.

Say It With A Kiss

From the First National Picture "Going Places"
Lyric by Johnny Mercer
Music by Harry Warren

Verse:

My eyes have looked at you and found you fair,
My heart's been asking me if you could care,
And now my heart and I are standing by,
We await your reply;

Chorus:

Let me hear you say it, say it with a kiss,
If you mean that look I've seen, say it with a kiss,
There is wine and candle-shine and music in your lips,
Magic in the touch of your fingertips;
Words may not convey it, say it with a kiss,
And your look might speak a book that my eyes might miss,
You don't have to know the words to love's familiar tune,
Say it with a kiss and say it soon.
