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

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

they might keep a simple fellow out of jail.
