Eddie Cochran - Pink Peg Slacks lyrics

[Eddie Cochran - Pink Peg Slacks lyrics]

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?
