John Scott Cree - Off The Peg Lyrics

When I was a child it was the '50s decade, there was free milk in schools and free orange for babes
Now in my teens I stand tall in my shoes, and all of my friends they're all six foot too (two)

(Ch) Got a twenty-six waist, twenty nine inside leg
I want to buy my clothes off-the-peg

When we go shopping they tell our mums lies , they say 'Your boy's an irregular size'
Buy made-to-measure - you'll pay through the nose, that's why I want to buy some off-the-peg clothes

(Ch) Got a thirty-six waist, twenty--nine inside leg
I want to buy my clothes off-the-peg

Don't want them to order don't want them next week, I want them right now and I want them real quick
And if you don't have them then I'll go elsewhere, don't want made-to-measure I want ready-to-wear

(Ch) Got a forty-four waist twenty-nine inside leg
I want to buy my clothes off-the-peg
