Lyrics
Peggy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Every time I hold you you don't want to hold me tight
Every time I squeeze you you don't want to squeeze me right
Tell me, tell me darling do you really want to say goodnight
'Cause I want you to stay the whole night through
Saying baby Peggy
Baby Peggy
Say Jerry I want to ask you something
Do you remember those three girls that we met the other night at that party?
Yeah sure man, sure
I want you tell me which one do you really like
You know, I really dig that girl Scarlet man
Ha, ha, what about you Raleigh?
Well I dig Joanne
Joanne? You don't like Peggy?
Well no comment about her, no comment
She's a nice girl though, she's a nice girl
No comment, no comment
You don't know which one I like?
No, no, let me hear it man
You want me to tell you?
Joanne is the one I love, but Scarlet that girl is so fine
But I need Peggy
I need Peggy, Peggy, Peggy, Peggy...
