"Eeper Weeper" or "Heeper Peeper" is an English nursery rhyme and skipping song that tells the story of a chimney sweep who kills his second wife and hides her body up a chimney.

[1] Iona and Peter Opie noted that the rhyme had been used in this form from at least the first decade of the 20th century.
[clarification needed][2] A verse collected from Aberdeen, Scotland and published in 1868 had the words: This may be an older version of "Eeper Neeper" and of "Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater".
