Oh Peter you’re so nice,
It’s paradise,
When you’re by my side,
That’s when I’m satisfied,
Come on and kiss me do,
And hug me tight,
There’s nothing sweeter,
Peter, Peter,
Call around tonight.
Oh Peter you’re so nice,
It’s paradise,
When you’re by my side,
That’s when I’m satisfied,
Come on and kiss me do,
And hug me tight,
There’s nothing sweeter,
Peter, Peter,
Call around tonight
Oh, call around tonight.
Though I would like more definitive evidence, the limited information on him on the internet widely states that he was famous for his female impersonation. Perhaps relatedly, on some of his records Banks takes his voice up noticeably higher than on this one.
