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 what you are giving



To the lost and lonely people of the night

Out of need they seek direction from the light

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 your providing

Sweet cream ladies show your starch

What's the use in 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 everyday



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 for those who fail

And should penalties pursue them

When there's really credit to 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...
