LITTLE BO PEEP HAS LOST HER JEEP
(Frank De Vol / Jerry Browne)

Spike Jones & His City Slickers (vocal: Del Porter) - 1942
Horace Heidt & His Musical Knights (vocal: Donna & Her Don Juans) - 1942




As recorded by SPIKE JONES & HIS CITY SLICKERS, 7th April 1942:

Private Jackson had a girl, he fondly called Bo-Peep
Now Jackson didn't have a car, so drove by in a jeep
They took a ride, the time flew by, and Bo-Peep was in heaven
Till Jackson cried "Bo-Peep, this jeep's gotta be in camp by eleven"

So little Bo-Peep has lost her jeep
And don't know where to find it
Her soldier boy took it back to camp
And left Bo-Peep behind it

It didn't have doors, the seats were hard
But Bo-Peep never minded
It didn't ride like a Cadillac
She wondered who designed it

Roller coasters nearly killed her
Aeroplanes they never thrilled her
But with Jackson at the wheel
She got that jeep, jeep, jeep appeal

Now little Bo-Peep wants to find her jeep
And find her soldier chappie
If he comes chug-chuggy in his old blitz buggy
Bo-Peep will be happy

(Musical Break – Spike Jones Style)

Now little Bo-Peep has lost her jeep
Her boyfriend made an error
He let her drive, goodness, sakes alive
That Bo-Peep, she's a terror

The throttle pushed down, she tore through town
The red lights didn't stop her
The soldier knew that they both were through
When she side-swiped a copper

(Car sounds - "Look Out" - Crash sound)

Now little Bo-Peep has lost her jeep
Oh my, why must her joy end
Now her little jeep is layin' in a heap
And the guard house has her boyfriend

As recorded by DONNA & HER DON JUANS with
HORACE HEIDT & HIS MUSICAL KNIGHTS, 30th March 1942:


DON JUANS:
Private Jackson had a gal he fondly called Bo-Peep
Now Jackson didn't have a car, so drove by in a jeep
They took a ride, the time flew by, Bo-Peep was in heaven
Till Jackson cried "Bo-Peep, this jeep's gotta be in camp by eleven"

So little Bo-Peep has lost her jeep
And don't know where to find it
Her soldier boy drove it back to camp
And left Bo-Peep behind it

It didn't have doors, the seats were hard
But Bo-Peep never minded
It didn't ride like a Cadillac
She wondered who designed it

Roller coasters nearly killed her
Aeroplanes they never thrilled her
But with Jackson at the wheel
She got that jeep, jeep, jeep appeal

Now little Bo-Peep wants to find her jeep
And find her soldier chappie
If he comes chug-chugin' in his old blitz buggy
Bo-Peep will be happy

(Orchestral Interlude)

DONNA:
I'm little Bo-Peep, I've lost my jeep
And don't know where to find it
My soldier boy drove it off to camp
And left poor me behind it

It didn't have doors, the seats were hard
But gee, I didn't mind it
It didn't look like a Cadillac
I wonder who designed it

ALL:
Roller coasters nearly kill her
Aeroplanes they never thrill her
But with Jackson at the wheel
Oh boy, she got that jeep, jeep, jeep appeal

DONNA:
I'm little Be Peep, I need that jeep
And want my soldier chappie
When he comes chug-chugin' in his old blitz buggy
Bo-Peep will be happy

DON JUANS:
Hey Bo-Peep, here comes Jackson in his jeep

DONNA:
I'm little Be Peep, I've found my jeep
And found my soldier chappie
ALL:
He came chug-chugin' in his old blitz buggy
Now Bo-Peep surely will be happy
