CELIE Dear Nettie, I went back home. The house was okay, but the store was a dusty mess. But I fixed it up, and now I'm makin' pants for anybody who wants 'em. I change the cloth, I change the print, I change the waist, I change the pocket. Only thing I can't do is quit makin' 'em. 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. GLODENE & ODESSA GABARDINE, VELVETEEN, SATIN, OR LACE. BUTTONS AND BOWS ALL OVER THE PLACE. CELIE STYLES THAT MAKE YOU LOOK LIKE A QUEEN. CHURCH LADIES THAT WOMAN'S A WIZ WITH HER SEWIN' MACHINE! EVERYONE WHO DAT SAY WHO DAT SAY WHO DAT? WHO DAT SAY WHO DAT SAY WHO DAT? WHO DAT SAY WHAT YOU SAY IN MISS CELIE'S PANTS! WHO DAT SAY WHO DAT SAY WHO DAT? SOFIA LOOKIT HERE, GET OUT MY WAY. SOFIA'S BACK, AND I'M HERE TO STAY EVERYONE IN MISS CELIE'S PANTS! SHUG GIRL, YOU SWEPT OUT THE MEM'RIES, FILLED THIS PLACE WITH JOY. SOFIA IN THIS BIG OL' STORE 18 DORIS GOT YOUR SEWING MACHINES, DARLENE MIRRORS SHINY CLEAN, JARENE AND A FITTIN' 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'? . . . Celie looks around at all of them and sings to Shug. CELIE LOOK WHO'S WEARING THE PANTS NOW! EVERYONE WHO DAT SAY WHO DAT SAY WHO DAT? WHO DAT SAY WHO DAT SAY WHO DAT? WHO DAT SAY WHAT YOU SAY IN MISS CELIE'S PANTS! (SCAT) WHO DAT SAY WHO DAT SAY WHO DAT? WHO DAT SAY WHAT YOU SAY IN MISS CELIE'S PANTS! Back to main page: Color Purple Lyrics
