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
