Miss Celie’s Pants

[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]
Gabardine, velveteen, satin or lace
Buttons and bows all over the place

[CELIE]
Styles that'll 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
Who that say, who that say, who that

[SOFIA]
Look out here, get out my way
Sofia's back and I'm 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]
And brought you to tears
And made you believe that you're not strong

[LADIES]
Strong

[CELIE]
But, look
I said, look
Are you lookin'?

[CELIE]
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

[LADIES]
Who that say, who that say, who that (Who that say)
Who that say, who that say, who that (Who that say)
Who that say, what you say
In Miss Celie's pants
