Pink Peg Slacks
Chasing Pink Dreams: Eddie Cochran's Quest for Quirky Fashion
Lyrics
I went downtown last night, gonna dig a show
I went downtown last night, planning to attend a show.
Walked past the display window of a big department store
I walked past the display window of a large department store.
When I looked inside this window, hangin' off of the racks
Upon looking inside the window, I saw various items hanging off the racks.
Down there near the bottom was a great pair of pink peg slacks
Near the bottom, I noticed an appealing pair of pink peg slacks.
I gotta have 'em; yeah, what I need for 'em is cash
I desire to acquire them, and the only requirement is having enough cash.
Well well, have a lot of cash & wear crazy pink peg slacks
If I possess a significant amount of cash, I can wear these eccentric pink peg slacks.
Well, I walked up to a salesman & said, "Mister, I'm flat broke
I approached a salesman and confessed my financial situation, expressing my desire for the pink slacks.
But I gotta have them pink slacks." He said, "What is this, man, a joke?"
The salesman questioned the seriousness of my request, considering it might be a joke.
Well, I asked him how much money; he said, "Add 4 & 8"
When I inquired about the cost, he instructed me to add 4 and 8.
I said, "Man, them pants is crazy; them's pink pair of acetate!"
I found the pants to be unconventional, describing them as a pink pair made of acetate.
I gotta have 'em; yeah, what I need for 'em is cash
I am determined to have them, and the only hindrance is the need for cash.
Well well, have a lot of cash & wear crazy pink peg slacks
If I possess a substantial amount of cash, I can proudly wear these unique pink peg slacks.
I went to see my baby, asked her for some dough
I visited my significant other and requested financial assistance.
She said, "Well, you know, I love you, honey, but what you need this money for?"
She questioned the purpose of needing money for the pink slacks despite expressing love for me.
Well, I talked about them baggers I saw across downtown
I discussed the appealing slacks I saw downtown and received money from her father.
She got a sawbuck from her daddy & I turned my Ford around
I turned my car around after securing the funds.
I gotta have 'em; yeah, what I need for 'em is cash
I am committed to obtaining the pink peg slacks, and cash is the only requirement.
Well well, have a lot of cash & wear crazy pink peg slacks
If I have a significant amount of cash, I can confidently wear these distinctive pink peg slacks.
Brought the Ford to a stop, rushed into the store
I stopped my car, entered the store, and informed the salesman about having a sawbuck (ten dollars).
Said, "Man, I got a sawbuck." He said, "No, you need 2 bucks more"
The salesman informed me that I needed an additional two dollars.
I said, "What's the matter, can't I charge you?"
I suggested charging the purchase, but the salesman refused.
He said, "You don't get these things for free"
The salesman emphasized that these items are not obtained for free.
I said, "But Mister, you just don't know what those pink peggers mean to me!"
I pleaded with the salesman, expressing the personal significance of the pink peg slacks to me.
I gotta have 'em; yeah, what I need for 'em is cash
I am determined to have the slacks, and the only hindrance is the need for cash.
Well well, have a lot of cash & wear crazy pink peg slacks
If I possess a substantial amount of cash, I can proudly wear these unique pink peg slacks.
