Cochran Eddie Pink Peg Slacks Lyrics

Pink Peg Slacks Lyrics

I went downtown last night to dig a show  

 Walked past the display window of a big department store  

 When I looked inside this window, hangin' on the racks  

 Down there near the bottom was a great pair of pink peg slacks  

 Gotta have 'em; what I need for 'em is cash  

 Well, have a lot of cash & wear crazy pink peg slacks  

  

 I walked up to a salesman & said, "Mister, I'm flat broke  

 But I gotta have them pink slacks!" He said "What is this, man, a joke?"  

 I asked him how much money; he said "Add 4 & 8"  

 I said "Man, them pants is crazy, them's pink pair of acetate!"  

 Gotta have 'em; what I need for 'em is cash  

 Well, have a lot of cash & wear crazy pink peg slacks  

  

 I went to see my baby, asked her for some dough  

 She said "Well, you know I love you honey, but what you need this money for?" 


 I told about them baggers I saw across downtown  

 She got a sawbuck from her daddy & I turned the Ford around  

 Gotta have 'em; what I need for 'em is cash  

 Well, have a lot of cash & wear crazy pink peg slacks  

  

 Brought the Ford to a stop, rushed into the store  

 I said "Man, I got a sawbuck"; he said "Sorry, you need 2 bucks more"  

 I said "What's the matter, can't I charge you?" He said, "Man, you don't get
these things for free"  

 I said "But mister, you just don't know what those pink peggers mean to me!" 


 Gotta have 'em; what I need for 'em is cash  

 Well, have a lot of cash & wear crazy pink peg slacks
