Shug Avery Comin' To Town

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 o' rocks
There's holes in my sunday socks
Shug avery comin' to town! Shug avery comin' to town!

Lock up all your mens
And your young boys, too
Shug ain't got no friends
'Cept the ones she screw!
Shug avery comin' to town!
Shug comin'! Mmmm, gonna get me
Shug comin'! Some sugar tonight!

Sharp as a tack
With your hair slicked back
Spit on your shoes
What you tryin' to 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
Church ladies
Drinkin' the gin
Lovin' all the mens
Strumpet in a short skirt
Got no pride!

Bumpin' in the shed
Bouncin' in the bed
Townspeople
Don't you know it ain't no lie
Shug avery comin' to town.

Got about a million questions
Crawling 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!
Oh, she
Comin', comin'!
Shug avery heat up this town!
Church mama
She gonna turn into a pillar of salt!
Oh, no, no, no!
Shug avery she back in town!
Ooh, 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
9
10.

Better say farewell
'Cuz you're goin' 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!
Shug avery. .. .. .
She back in town!
