Ariana Debose - 2023 Bafta Film Awards Opening Number Lyrics

Part I: "Sisters Are Doin’ It for Themselves"

[Verse 1]
Now there was a time
When they used to say
That behind every great man
There had to be a great woman
Oh, in these times of change
Don't you know that it's no longer true
So we're coming out of the kitchen
'Cause there's something we forgot to say to you

[Chorus]
Sisters are doing it for themselves
Standing on their own two feet
And ringing on their own bells
Sisters are doing it for themselves

[Verse 2]
Everybody, take a look around
Can't you see? Can't you see? Can you see?
There's a woman right next to you
Ooh, yeah

[Refrain]
Sisters are doing it for themselves
Part II: "Outstanding Debut"

[Intro]
The category is "Outstanding Debut"

[Verse 1]
Charlotte Wells, we love After Sun
Georgia, Helene, Blue Jean's the one
Elena, Maya, the teamwork's grand
Good luck to you Katy Brand
Electric Maladay
Marie, girl, what a slay
Sandy Powell with that Fellowship
Costume queen, can you fix this zip?

[Verse 2]
All the ladies in the room
Supporting and Leading, all here, I presume?
Hong Chau, Dolly De
Kary and Carrie with a C
Dame Emma, I'm so fond
Ana, girl, you were great in Blonde
Danielle D., you broke my heart
Michele, I've loved you from the start

[Verse 3]
Angela Bassett did the thing
Viola Davis, my woman king
Blanchet, Cate, you're a genius
And Jamie Lee, you are all of us
Not one of us is here alone
All these Queens, we need a bigger throne
House of BAFTA, the vibe is strong
Be true to you, you can't go wrong
Part III: We Are Family

[Verse]
Have faith in you and the things you do
You won't go wrong, oh no
This is our family jewel

[Chorus]
(We are family)
Yeah
(I got all my sisters with me)
All my sisters with me
(We are family)
Get up, get up, y'all
Get up, everybody!
(Get up, everybody, and sing)
Put your hands together!

[Outro]
(We are family)
Have faith in you and the things you do
(I got all my sisters with me)
All my sisters with me
(We are family)
Oh, oh
Get up, everybody, and sing
Sing, sing, sing
