Pink Peg Slacks

Pink-Peg Slacks - Eddie Cochran

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"
