[CELIE & NETTIE]
Hey, sista, whacha gon' do
Goin' down by the river
Gonna play with you
Papa don't like no screamin' 'round here
No lip from da woman when they chug that beer

[CELIE, spoken]
You all grown up and pretty now, it's time for you to get married, have one good year before you get big

[NETTIE, spoken]
I can't get married, I'm still in school. Who that man talkin' to Pa?

[CELIE, spoken]
Girl at church say he lookin' for a new wife to take care of his mean chirren

[NETTIE, spoken]
Well I see where they get that mean from. Look at him, holdin' his whip like he got a horse waitin' somewhere. You see any horse?

[CELIE, spoken]
You don't wanna get married?

[NETTIE, sung]
I wanna know how the world goes
How far is the moon?
How the sky changes color?
Hope I find out soon
