"Jeepers Creepers" is a popular song and jazz standard.
The music was written by Harry Warren and the lyrics by Johnny Mercer for the 1938 movie Going Places.
[5] In the film Going Places, Louis Armstrong sang the song to a racehorse named Jeepers Creepers.
[1] The phrase "jeepers creepers", a minced oath for "Jesus Christ", predates both the song and film.
[1] Mercer said that the title came from a Henry Fonda line in an earlier movie.
