Measure Me

Measure me from head to toe
Measure me
Your tape dey cold for my shoulder
For my shoulder
Sew my name inside the collar
For the collar
Measure me, I no fit move

Tailor girl
Ah-ah
Tailor girl

Your shop get one long mirror
And a poster of styles from oh-nine
The sewing machine dey hum like prayer
Chalk line dey my trouser leg
You put three pins for your mouth
Still you dey yab me well well
I come here for one small adjustment
I don adjust my whole life

Turn small, turn small
Make I see the fitting
Turn small, turn small
Make I see the fitting

Measure me from head to toe
Measure me
Your tape dey cold for my shoulder
For my shoulder
Sew my name inside the collar
For the collar
Measure me, I no fit move

I don bring four different fabrics
This month alone, ask your madam
Ankara, lace, plain senator
My mirror don dey complain
You write my number for your book
Under customer wey dey worry
But Friday you call say the shirt don ready
Even though I know say e never

Chalk dust for your fingers
Three pins wait inside the chalk box
The mirror hold us two together
The tape drop from your neck
You measure me with your eye
Say perfect, no adjustment

Measure me from head to toe
Measure me
Your tape dey cold for my shoulder
For my shoulder
Sew my name inside the collar
For the collar
Measure me, I no fit move
I no fit move, I no fit move

Styles from oh-nine
Measure me
