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!)
