Broadway Revival (2015) The Color Purple Musical - Miss Celie's Pants Lyrics
"Miss Celie's Pants" is a song from the Broadway musical The Color Purple performed by Cynthia Erivo (Celie), Jennifer Hudson (Shug), Danielle Brooks (Sofia), and Female Ensemble.
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!
