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
Gabardine, velveteen, satin or lace
Buttons and bows all over the place
Styles that'll make you feel like a queen
That woman's a whiz with a sewin' machine
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-
Look out here, get out my way
Sofia's back and I'm here to stay
In Miss Celie's Pants
Girl, you swept out the memories
Filled this place with joy
In this big old store
Got your sewin' machine
Mirror shiny clean
And a fitting room
Smell like sweet perfume
That man might have done you wrong
And brought you to tears
And made you believe that you're not strong
(Strong)
But, look
I said, look
Are you lookin'?
We all lookin', honey
Look who's wearin' the pants now
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 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
