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

(salvation army band instrumental)

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!

(repeat & fade):

Sweet cream ladies, forward march. O-o-o…
