| I went down town last night, gonna dig a show
|
| When I passed a display window of a big department store
|
| Well, I looked inside this window
|
| Man, all filled up with racks
|
| And down there near the bottom was a crazy pair of slacks
|
| I gotta have 'em, yeah, well, I need 'em for this cat
|
| Well, well, yeah, how can I go cattin'
|
| Without crazy pink peg slacks?
|
| Well, I walked up to a salesman, I said mister I’m flat broke
|
| But I gotta have them pink slacks, he said, «Man, is this a joke?»
|
| Well, I asked him how much money
|
| He said, «Add up four and eight»
|
| He said, «Man, them pants is crazy», them’s pink, rayon acetate
|
| I gotta have 'em, yeah, well, I need 'em for this cat
|
| Well-yeah how can I go cattin'
|
| Without crazy pink peg slacks
|
| Well, I went to see my baby, asked her for some dough
|
| Said well you know I love you honey
|
| What you need this money for? |
| Well, I told her about them peggers
|
| I found across down town
|
| Got a sawbuck from her daddy, yeah, and I turned my Ford around
|
| I gotta have 'em, yeah, well, I need 'em for this cat
|
| Well, yeah, how can I go cattin'
|
| Without crazy pink peg slacks
|
| I saved my Ford into a stop, rushed into the store
|
| I said, «Man, I got a sawbuck» he said, «You need two bucks more»
|
| I said, «Man, can’t I charge it?»
|
| He said, «Man, we don’t get these things for free»
|
| I said, «Mister, you just don’t realize
|
| What these pink peggers mean to me» |
