Pink Peg Slacks (Remastered 2014)

I went downtown 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

She said, "you know I love you, honey, but

What you need this money for?"

Well, I told her about them peggers I found across downtown

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 set 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!"

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?
