When you hide your eyes
Behind your blankie
The time is right
For peek-a-boo baby
Peek-a-boo peek-a-boo
Peek-a-boo baby
I see you
I know you’re there
Under the covers
Trying so hard
To hide from your mother
But I have no trouble
In finding you
I just pull back
The covers and say
Peek-a-boo
When you hide your eyes
Behind your blankie
The time is right
For peek-a-boo baby
Peek-a-boo peek-a-boo
Peek-a-boo baby
Peek-a-boo baby
I love you I love you
I love you I love you
