Pink Peg Slacks

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, 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; 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 crazy pink peg slacks
