[Sofia]
Nice to meet you, ma'am

A prizefighter, friend of the family
[Church Ladies]
Oh, oh, oh Buster
[Mister]

[Harpo]
Oh no, Sofia, what are you doin' here

A woman need to have some fun

Out in the juke at night

Life don't stop just 'cause you leave home
Ain't that right, Miss Celie
[Harpo]

Without even throwin' a punch

What do you mean this is her house
You said it was our house
She walked away from it so it over now
[Ensemble]
Uh-oh
[Sofia]
Fine with me
[Harpo]
Woman, can't a man get some peace
Dancin' with his own wife
[Squeak]
Not if he my man, and not if he love me
No, not if he my man, he can't
You hear that, bitch?
[Church Ladies]
Her house, this is your house
Ain't but one house
So then whose is it
Her house, this is your house
Ain't but one house
Better keep him in it
[Squeak]
You ain't nothin' but a big, old heifer
[Sofia]
Like I said, fine with me!
[Church Ladies]
Her house, this is your house
Ain't but one
[Ensemble]
Oh
