Where my shirt?
Where my hat?
Where you put my braces at?
Fix my tie
Press my pants
Ugly man ain't got no chance
What is you fussin' for, mister?
What you care about 'sides yourself?
Celie head full of rocks
There's holes in my sunday socks
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
Oh, Shug Avery comin' to town!
Shug comin'
Mmm, gonna get me
Some sugar tonight, baby (Shug comin')
Sharp as a tack
With your hair slicked back
Spit on your shoes
What you tryna do?
That mister sho do shine
When Shug come 'cross that county line
Ain't no other woman like Shug
Like Shug
Oh Lord, let me cross
Into her promised land
Drinkin' the gin
Lovin' all the mens
Strumpet in a short skirt
Got no pride
Bumpin' in the shed
Bouncin' in the bed
Don't you know it ain't no lie
Shug Avery comin' to town
Got about a million questions
Rolling around my head
What she wear?
How her hair?
Is she skinny?
Is she stout?
Must be somethin' to fuss about
Shug Avery bring down this town
Fire and brimstone rainin' down!
She comin', comin'!
Shug Avery heat up this town!
She gonna turn into a pillar of salt
Oh, yes, she is!
Shug Avery she back in town!
That Shug, you know she no good
A snake in the woods gonna poison you
You don't understand what it do to a man
When you in her hands and she turn that screw
Better say farewell 'cause you're going to hell!
But a man feel swell when he in her spell
Better lock your doors
Better change your drawers
She's coming, coming, coming, coming
Shug Avery
She back in town!
