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?
