Lyrics

Who has a face as funny as Pepe?
Who has a smile as sunny as Pepe?
Who’s the comical little clown
There with the trousers falling down?
Skippin’ hippity hop, like a busy bee
I ask you, who has a heart as happy as Pepe?
Who has a strut as snappy as Pepe?
Who’s the fella that rings the bell?
I know him well, I’ll even spell it for you
P-E-P-E, Pepe, that’s me, proud and perky
With his burro by his side
(Who has a face as funny as Pepe)
He’s no higher than a turkey
But his smile is two feet wide
(Who has a smile as sunny as Pepe)
And he always makes a habit
Out of helping one and all
(No bigger than a bunny is Pepe)
He’s no bigger than a rabbit
But his heart is ten feet tall
(Who has a face as funny as?
Who has a smile as sunny as?

Who has a face as funny as Pepe?
Who has a smile as sunny as Pepe?
Who’s a pixie in baggy clothes?
There with the cute mustachios
Skippin’ hippity hop, what a sight to see
I ask you, who has a heart as happy as Pepe?
Who has a strut as snappy as Pepe?
Who’s the fella that rings the bell?
I know him well, I’ll even spell it for you
P-E-P-E, Pepe, that’s me
