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!"

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?"

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!"
