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

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