The Box Tops

The Box Tops were a Memphis rock group from the 1960s. They are best known for the hits "The Letter", "Cry Like a Baby", and "Soul Deep" and are considered a major blue-eyed soul group of the period. They performed a mixture of current soul music songs by artists such as James and Bobby Purify and Clifford Curry, pop tunes such as "A Whiter Shade of Pale" by Keith Reid, Gary Brooker and Matthew Fisher of Procol Harum, and songs written by their producers, Dan Penn, Spooner Oldham, and Chips Moman. Vocalist Alex Chilton went on to front the powerpop band Big Star and to launch a career as a solo artist, during which he occasionally performed songs he had sung with the Box Tops. more »

Sweet cream ladies forward march 
The world owes you a living 
Sweet cream ladies do your part 
Think what you are giving 

To the lost and lonely people of the night 
Out of need they seek direction from the light 
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 your providing 
Sweet cream ladies show your starch
What's the use in 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 everyday 

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 for those who fail 
And should penalties pursue them 
When there's really credit to them 
They might keep a simple fellow out of jail
