[Celie]
Dear Nettie, I went back home to Georgia
The house wasn't too bad
But the store was a dusty mess
I fixed it up, though, and now I'm makin' pants for anybody that wants 'em
I change the cloth, I change the waist, I change the print, I change the pocket
Only thing I can't do is quit makin' 'em
[Celie]
All I need's a needle and a spool of thread
Got about a million patterns in my head
All the ladies' legs are gonna love to dance
When they in Miss Celie's Pants
[Ladies]
Gaberdine, velveteen, satin or lace
Buttons and bows all over the place
[Celie]
Styles that make you feel like a queen
[Ladies]
That woman's a whiz with a sewin' machine
[Ladies]
Who that say
Who that say
Who that
Who that say
Who that say
Who that
Who that say
What you say
In Miss Celie's pants
[Sofia]
Lookit here, get out my way
Sofia's back and she's here to stay
[Ladies]
In Miss Celie's Pants
[Shug]
Girl, you swept out the memories
Filled this place with joy
[Sofia]
In this big old store
[Doris]
Got your sewin' machine
[Darlene]
Mirror shiny clean
[Jarene]
And a fitting room
Smell like sweet perfume
[Sofia]
That man might have
[Shug, Glodene, Odessa]
Done you wrong
[Celie]
But look
I said look
Are you lookin'
[Ladies]
We all lookin', honey
[Celie]
Look who's wearin' the pants now
[Ladies]
Who that say
Who that say
Who that
Who that say
Who that say
Who that
Who that say
What you say
In Miss Celie's pants
[All]
(Scat)
[Celie]
Who that say
Who that say
Who that say
[Ladies]
In Miss Celie's pants
[All]
