Sweet Cream Ladies, Forward March Lyrics - Singles - 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 theres 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
