PEEKABOO TO YOU
(Joseph Meyer / Carl Sigman / Johnny Mercer)

as recorded by Bea Wain
with The Leonard Joy Orchestra
May 22nd 1941


Peekaboo to you, you dreameroo,
Whoever let you out alone?
Peekaboo to you, with all that woo woo,
Walkin' in a danger zone!

Don't you know the woods are full of dames,
Tryin' to trap some boy,
And you're the real McCoy,
Little Lord Fauntleroy!

Take a look at how they hold a pow-wow,
Take a listen to the sky.
Take a look at me and you can see
I'm jealous with the light green eye!

Mom, hand me my xxxxx?,
I'll believe those charms.
Then I'll say peekaboo, peekaboo to you
In my arms!

Peekaboo, peekaboo, peekaboo,
Whoever let you out alone?
Peekaboo, peekaboo, peekaboo,
Walkin' in a danger zone!

Don't you know the woods are full of dames,
Trying to trap some boy,
And you are the real McCoy,
Little Lord Fauntleroy!

If they should attack I'll hold them back,
I'll cut them to the proper size!
Take a look at me and you can see
I'm jealous with the light green eyes!

Momma, hand me my blunderbuss,
They won't muss those charms.
Peekaboo to you, peekaboo to you
In my arms!
