Mr. Peepers

As she rode in the car behind a black limousine
She thought about the man she knows since she was seventeen
She was glad he was gone and soon she would forget
She was married to the dullest man she had ever met
He never was the kind of man she wanted him to be
They never had that big white house or raised a family

And she called him Mr. Peepers just a shy quite man
She never took time to believe in him or try to understand
And as she gave his dying soul to the preacher man to save
One by one the crowd began to gather around his grave

44 weeping stewardesses with children kneeling down
And each one looked just like the man they were laying in ground
Twenty-three fashion models and a girl he called his niece
With a disco dancing trophy in the name of deceased

Seventeen playboy bunnies and his next door neighbor’s wife
They say she caused his heart to quit the night he lost his life
Old Spencer Brown from a secret rendezvous
She came to say goodbye to the only man she ever knew

And she called him Mr. Peepers just a shy quite man
She never took time to believe in him or try to understand
And as she gave his dying soul to the preacher man to save
One by one the crowd began to gather around his grave

44 weeping stewardesses with children kneeling down
And each one looked just like the man they were laying in ground
Twenty-three fashion models and a girl he called his niece
With a disco dancing trophy in the name of deceased

Seventeen playboy bunnies and she called him Mr. Peepers
And she thought he was dull he had a closet big as a warehouse
And they all came out 22 secretaries 13 cocktail waitresses
One disc jockey a broadcast personality
Two truck drivers and I’m gonna tell you

Those were ugliest two women you ever laid your eyes on
Dull friends is in the eye of the beholder
Mr. Peepers was anything but dull
