the color purple broadway cast - shug avery comin' to town lyrics

Loading...

[mister]
where my shirt?
where my hat?
where you put my braces at?

fix my tie
press my pants
ugly men ain’t got no chance

[celie]
what is you fussing for, mister
what you care about ‘sides yourself

[mister]
celie head full o’ rocks
there’s holes in my sunday socks

[ladies]
shug avery comin’ to town

lock up all your mens
and your young boys, too
she ain’t got no friends
‘cept the ones she screw

[ladies] (mister)
oh, shug avery comin’ to town
shug comin’! (mmmm, gonna get me)
shug comin’! (some sugar tonight!)

[celie]
sharp as a tack
with your hair slicked back
spit on your shoes, what you tryin’ to do

[ladies]
that mister sho do shine
when shug come cross that county line

[men]
ain’t no other woman like shug
like shug
oh lord, let me cross
into her promised land

[ladies]
drinking the gin
loving all the men
strumpet in a short skirt
got no pride

[males]
b-mping in the shed
bouncing in the bed

[ensemble]
don’t you know it ain’t no lie

[ensemble & mister]
shug avery comin’ to town

[celie]
got about a million questions
crawling around my head
what she wear
how her hair
is she skinny
is she stout

must be something to fuss about

[ladies]
shug avery, (uh-huh) bring down this town

[church lady]
fire and brimstone raining down
oh, she coming, coming

[males]
shug avery heat up this town

[church lady]
she gonna turn into a pillar of salt
oh yes she is

[ensemble]
shug avery, she back in town

[ladies]
ooh, that shug
you know she no good
a snake in the woods
gonna poison you

[males]
you don’t understand
what it do to a man
when you in her hands
and she turn that screw

[women]
better say farewell
‘cuz you’re going to h-ll

[males]
but a man feel swell
when he in her spell

[ladies]
better lock your doors

[males]
better change your drawers

[ensemble]
she’s coming, coming, coming, coming
shug avery, she back in town
