    I reckon your mixing up "pink slip" and "fixed slip";sounds roughly the same if you sing it.
    A "fixed slip daddy" referred to the rear axle of the deuce coupe. The weirdly named "DADDY LONG LEGS" was a Californian engineering company specialising in transmissions and rear axles for performance cars of the day.A fixed slip differential got the power down smoothly and safely and was a "must have "for the serious street racer: it still is. "And she purrs like a kitten till the "lake pipes" roar"falls into the same category. Exhaust pipes by a firm called LAKER. These were sixties big names in American car tuning.

      .
      the lyrics are:
      .
      "She's got a competition clutch with four on the floor
      And she purrs like a kitten till the lake pipes roar
      And if that ain't enough to make you flip your lid
      There's one more thing, I've got the pink slip, Daddy"
