The Color Purple Cast - Big Dog (feat. 2015 Broadway Cast) lyrics

There's my field, there's my cattle, there's my men He want his ham hocks hot And his lemonade cold Don't want to hear no lip Just do what you told [] Pluck them chickens Scrub them pots and pans You gonna churn that bu*ter 'Til it cramp your hands If you think hard work Been doggin' you before . . . Hunh! Get ready for the big dog! This my house Fix that (Work!) Broken window 'Fore the (Work!) Rain come in You got to (Work!) k** that rat With this here . . (Work!) Rollin' pin (Humm!) Mop this floor Pick up ( humm!) All this mess You know that Cleanliness Next to Godliness If you think hard work Been doggin' you before Get ready for the big dog! Hunh! Sweep this barn, nettie go Milk that cow. To the schoolhouse Water from the well, get her Fields to plow. College degree Brush my horse. Nettie teachin' Feed that pig. Her children Tree to chop, to spell Ditch to dig. Tennessee Fetch them eggs, won't be time Pitch that hay. For a garden Patch the fence So the billy no birds Don't stray. Gonna sing Pull the turnips, won't be time Hose the greens, for my readin' Feed the baby goats 'Til the last one weans Get ready for the big dog! ( Work!) Hunh! Harpo! I warned you about this. I'm gon' beat you clean to d**h. Get my belt! No! Pa! When i lay me down to sleep I will say my prayer (Girl shouting ) You throw your food on the floor, you eats it off the floor, you little pig That god love me so deep He will promise our souls to keep Daddy, can i have . . . You get nothin' from me, girl. And the next one of you says a word gets tied to the Fence post . Together Bedroom's upstairs I say a prayer He like his bath real hot Like it 'bout to boil You got to rub his feet With some liniment oil Shave his whiskers Hope it's understood That you best not cut him Or he beat you good If you think hard work been doggin' you before Get ready for the big dog! Hunh!
