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? |

When I think about the good love you gave me,
I cry like a baby. Living without you is driving me crazy, I cry like a baby. Well, I know now that you're not a play thing, Not a toy, or a puppet on a string. As I look back on a love so sweet now, I cry like a baby. Every road is a lonely street, I cry like a baby. I know now that you're not a play thing, Not a toy, or a puppet on a string. Today we passed on a street, And you just walked on by. My heart just fell to my feet, And once again I began to cry. When I think about the good love you gave me, I cry like a baby. Living without you is driving me crazy, I cry like a baby. I know now that you're not a play thing, I cry like a baby. As I look back on a love so sweet now, I cry like a baby. Every road is a lonely street, I cry like a baby. My heart just fell to my feet, you know I cried like a baby. You left the water running now, I cried like a baby. |

Were the nights any sweeter
The mornings any cooler, when she was here? Or was the mind grown accustomed to hearing "Good morning Dear"? Should I still feel all the sunshine That remembering brings to mind with my thoughts of her? Lord, we both know things could never be the way they were Her little girl illusions built the wall of confusion between right and wrong That stands between her and the dream I had cherished so long Now faded and tattered, once all that mattered when she was here And a mind grown accustomed to hearing "Good morning dear" Were the nights any sweeter The mornings any cooler, when she was here? Or was the mind grown accustomed to hearing "Good morning Dear"? |

…Times!
All those happy times, …Times! Days of summer love, …Times! that I held your hand, and the world stood still. Uh-huh… …Times! Those happy times, …Times! Down by the riverside, …Times! We were making love and listening to the birdies sing. Uh-huh… Now, I'm all alone; Happy times are gone, Gone just like the season Winter's on the ground, And my heart is cold; You left me without reason …Times! Those happy times, …Times! Down by the riverside, …Times! We were making love and listening to the birdies sing. Uh-huh… …Times! All those happy times, …Times! Days of summer love, …Times! that I held your hand, and the world stood still. Uh-huh… …Times! Happy, happy times… …Times! All those happy times… …Times! O-o-o… |

I met her in church!
I met her in church, on a Sunday morning She looked at me with eyes of love, as the choir sang, "Hallelujah!" Hallelujah! I met her in church I met her in church; we fell in love on a Sunday morning All at once, I heard angels singing, singing "Hallelujah!" Singing, Hallelujah! Hallelujah! I didn't find her on a Saturday night; I found her in the Sunday morning light I found her on a back row seat In a little church just down the street I met her in church, and I wed her in church Preacher Jones said, "Come here, children Good Lord willing, and the creek don't rise You're going to be happy for the rest of your life! Singing, Hallelujah! Hallelujah! I met her in church; I met her in church I found a love, I found a love! Hallelujah, I found a love? Right there in church, I found a love Singing, Hallelujah! I met her in church; I met her in church Hallelujah! |

I sat last night at midnight,
Blinded by the daylight, Sitting at the window, thinking about you and me I see our lives together, I see our love forever, I picture in my heart every night how it's gonna be Yea, Lord now... I see only sunshine For you and me, for years to come, now I can see it, can't you see it too? We can share the nighttime 'Til the morning's shining squints our eyes, now Years of loving me and years of loving only you I catch myself in daydreams, Thinking about the hard times we've seen We've been through it; there ain't nothing but good times ahead I walk into walls, forget things, Forget too match my clothes, my ears ring It circles in my head, did you listen to what I said, now? Yea, Lord now? I see only sunshine For you and me, for years to come, now I can see it, can't you see it too? We can share the nighttime 'Til the morning's shining squints our eyes, now Years of loving me and years of loving only you |

Yet every distance is not near So I remember every face Of every man who put me here I see my light come shining From the west down to the east Any day now, any day now I shall be released They say every man needs protection They say every man must fall Yet I swear I see my reflection Some place so high above this wall I see my light come shining From the west down to the east Any day now, any day now I shall be released Standing next to me in this lonely crowd Is a man who swears he's not to blame All day long I hear him shout so loud Crying out that he was framed I see my light come shining From the west down to the east Any day now, any day now I shall be released I see my light come shining From the west down to the east Any day now, any day now I shall be released Any day now, any day now I shall be released |

The city lights, the pretty lights
They can warm the coldest nights All the people going places Smiling with electric faces What they find, the glow erases And what they lose, the glow replaces And life is love In a neon rainbow A neon rainbow Moving lines, flashing signs Blinking faster than the minds Leading people with suggestions Leaving no unanswered questions You can live without direction And it don't have to be perfection And life is love In a neon rainbow A neon rainbow But in the daytime, everything changes Nothing remains the same No one smiles anymore And no one will open his door until the night time comes And then the city lights, the pretty lights They can warm the coldest nights All the people going places Smiling with the electric faces What they find, the glow erases And what they lose, the glow replaces And life is love In a neon rainbow A neon rainbow A neon rainbow |

People...
(’round and ’round and around...) People make the world go ’round (’round and ’round and around...) Teachers on strike, no more school today They want more money but the board won’t pay People Everybody’s talkin’ ’bout ecology The air’s so polluted that it’s hard to breathe People But that’s what makes the world go round The ups and downs a carousel Changing people’s heads around Go underground young men... People make the world go round... Old folks judge you by the clothes you wear They’d swear you’re a hippy if you have long hair Young politicians fight for poverty While people still cry for equality But that’s what makes the world go round The ups and downs a carousel Changing people’s heads around Go underground young men... People make the world go round... But that’s what makes the world go round The ups and downs a carousel Changing people’s heads around Go underground young men... People make the world go round... |

There was a time
I knew my mind And needed no one else As strong as stone I stayed alone Depending only on myself And suddenly my eyes Fell on you And with a smile You conquered me I became a sandman Crumbling in you hand Just a sandman You turned me into sand I’m a sandman But stone in love with you No ties to bind The wandering kind I was a rolling stone My only prayer The restless wind My only debt my own Then with a word You blew my mind And you touched me With love I became a sandman Crumbling in you hand Just a sandman You turned me into sand I’m a sandman But stone in love with you I became a sandman Crumbling in you hand Just a sandman You turned me into sand I’m a sandman But stone in love with you Sandman Sandman Sandman |

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 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! Sweet cream ladies, forward march. O-o-o |

Yesterday the sun was shining but you're finding the sun it
Don't shine all the time A winter day suddenly came your way And you ran into your mind Sleeping Analeah, Weeping Analeah Do you think you're ready for me? Oh and yesterday is gone forever and ever, never To be again You looked for the sunshine, that brought warmth to your mind But find only rain Sleeping Analeah, Weeping Analeah No, you're not ready for me But when yesterday becomes a memory, a memory That we uncovered in time If you still remember that cold September I reigned in your mind Sleeping Analeah, Weeping Analeah Then you'd be ready for me |

We skipped the light fandango, turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick but the crowd called out for more The room was humming harder as the ceiling flew away When we called out for another drink, the waiter brought a tray. And so it was, a little later, as the miller told his tale That her face at first just ghostly turned a whiter shade of pale. She said there is no reason and the truth is plain to see That I've wondered through my playing cards, would not let her be One of sixteen vestal virgins who were leaving for the coast And although my eyes were open, they might just as well have been closed. And so it was, a little later, as the miller told his tale That her face at first just ghostly turned a whiter shade of pale. And so it was, a little later, as the miller told his tale ... |

For you to do something I don't like I keep waiting? But everything you do, you do all right You give me love when I want you; You leave me alone when I don't Something says I ought to leave you, But something tells me I won't 'Cause you keep tightening up on me, and I can't break away 'Cause you keep tightening up on me, with a sweeter love every day. It scares me just a little bit, knowing I'll never be free Woman, I'm at your mercy, 'cause you keep Tightening up, tightening up, tightening up on me Yeah? O-o-o? yeah? La-la-la? Your kind of love? Makes it hard for a man to say no to you One look at me? And I know I've got to go to you Even when I'm looking away In my mind I can see you I ain't sure that I love you, baby, But I know that I need you 'Cause you keep tightening up on me, and I can't break away 'Cause you keep tightening up on me, with a sweeter love every day. It scares me just a little bit, knowing I'll never be free Woman, I'm at your mercy, 'cause you keep Tightening up, tightening up, tightening up on me Yeah? O-o-o? yeah? Uh-uh-uh-huh?o-o-o? You keep tightening up on me, and I can't break away You keep tightening up on me, with a sweeter love every day |
