PINK PEG SLACKS
Eddie Cochran
I went downtown last night, gonna dig a show
Walked past the display window of a big department store
When I looked inside this window, hangin' off of the racks
Down there near the bottom was a great pair of pink peg slacks
I gotta have 'em; yeah, what I need for 'em is cash
Well well, have a lot of cash & wear crazy pink peg slacks
Well, I walked up to a salesman & said, Mister, Im flat broke
But I gotta have them pink slacks." He said, "What is this, man, a joke?"
Well, I asked him how much money; he said, "Add 4 & 8"
I said, "Man, them pants is crazy; thems pink pair of acetate!
I gotta have 'em; yeah, what I need for 'em is cash
Well 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?
Well, I talked about them baggers I saw across downtown
She got a sawbuck from her daddy & I turned my Ford around
I gotta have 'em; yeah, what I need for 'em is cash
Well well, have a lot of cash & wear crazy pink peg slacks
Brought the Ford to a stop, rushed into the store
Said, Man, I got a sawbuck. He said, No, you need 2 bucks more
I said, Whats the matter, cant I charge you?
He said, You dont get these things for free"
I said, "But Mister, you just dont know what those pink peggers mean to me!
I gotta have 'em; yeah, what I need for 'em is cash
Well well, have a lot of cash & wear crazy pink peg slacks
