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   ...
