This song was mentioned by Cool Beans back on 16-Aug-2017. I ran across it today and decided we ought to have it posted here.


BLACK SLACKS
Words and music by Joe Bennett and Jimmy Denton
As recorded by Joe Bennett & the Sparkletones, 1957.

(Br-r-r-r-r!)
Black slacks! (Br-r-r!)
Black slacks! (Br-r-r!)
Black slacks! (Br-r-r!)
Black slacks! (Br-r-r!)
Black slacks! Make it cool, daddy-o.
When I put 'em on I'm a-rarin' to go.

When I go places I just don't care.
You would know why if you'd see what I wear:
Black slacks! Take fourteen.
Black slacks! Really are mean.
Black slacks! Make it cool, daddy-o.
When I put 'em on I'm a-rarin' to go.

Man, you ought to see me with my derby on.
I know that you would say: "He's gone."
Black slacks! Mostly in the head.
Black slacks! Well, that's what I said.
Black slacks! I'm the cat's pajamas,
'Cause I run around with crazy little mamas.

Well, the girls all look when I go by.
It's what I wear that makes 'em sigh.
Black slacks! I wear a red bow tie.
Black slacks! They say: "Me, oh, my!"
Black slacks! With a cat chain down to my knees,
I ain't nothin' but a real cool breeze.

Black slacks! (Br-r-r!)
Black slacks! (Br-r-r!)
Black slacks! (Br-r-r!)
Black slacks! (Br-r-r!)
Black slacks! Make it cool, daddy-o.
When I put 'em on I'm a-rarin' to go.
When I put 'em on I'm a-rarin' to go.
When I put 'em on I'm a-rarin' to go.

Black slacks! (Br-r-r!) [REPEAT AD LIB AND FADE]
