Sweet cream ladies, forward march,
    F5                C5
the world owes you a living.
C5                   D5
Sweet cream ladies, do your part,
F5                  C5
think what you are giving...
       A5                            G5
to the lost and lonely people of the night.
       C5                                  G5
Out of need they seek direction for their lives.
          A5
They will love you in the darkness..
     F5
take advantage of your starkness..
    D5                              G5
and refuse to recognize you in the light.

Sweet cream ladies, forward march,
F5                 C5
think what you're providing.
C5                   D5 
Sweet cream ladies, show your starch,
F5                 C5
what's the use in hiding?
         A5                           G5
Tell the socialites to look the other way.
     C5                           G5
It's instinctive stimulation you convey.
       A5                            F5
It's a necessary function, meant for those 
                             D5         
without compunction..who get tired of vanilla, 
      G5
every day.
