Jeepers Creepers is a 1938 American song with music by Harry Warren and lyrics by Johnny Mercer. It was introduced in the 1938 film Going Places, and a notable recording by Paul Whiteman & His Swing Wing with Jack Teagarden and The Four Modernaires appears on the Jeepers Creepers (Original Motion Picture Score) [Remastered] album. The tune, performed in a lively big band/swing style, is famous for the line Jeepers creepers, where'd you get those peepers? and was Oscar-nominated for its film connection. Johnny Mercer was the lyricist, and he later helped found Capitol Records in 1942.
