Sweet Cream Ladies, Forward March - The Box Tops

Sweet cream ladies, forward march

The world owes you a living

Sweet cream ladies, do your part

Think of what you're giving

To the lost and lonely people of the night

Out of need, they seek direction for their life

They will love you in the darkness

Take advantage of your starkness

And refuse to recognize you in the light

Sweet cream ladies, forward march

Think what you're providing

Sweet cream ladies, show your starch

What's the use of hiding?

Tell the socialites to look the other way

It's instinctive stimulation you convey

It's a necessary function

Meant for those without compunction

Who get tired of vanilla every day

Sweet cream ladies forward march

Puritans ignore them

Sweet cream ladies do their part

Sweet cream men adore them

Let them satisfy the ego of the male

Let them fabricate success to those who fail

And should penalties pursue them

When there? s really credit due them

They might keep a simple fellow out of jail

Sweet cream ladies, forward march

Sweet cream ladies, forward march

Sweet cream ladies, forward march
