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
