Pink Peg Slacks

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 I'm flat broke

But I gotta have them pink slacks

He said man is a joke

Well I asked him how much money;

He said "Add 4 & 8"

I said "Man them pants is crazy;

Them's 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 "What's the matter can't I charge you "

He said "You don't get these things for free"

I said "But Mister you just don't 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
