The Sewing Machine Song

Betty Hutton 1947 
from the movie The Perils of Pauline
The Sewing Machine Song
Too funny!
It certainly made me wonder
how many lives would
"come to a no good end"
if it wasn't for our sewing machines.
I can only speak personally,
but I am well aware
my machine has provided years of 
calming therapy :)
*Wouldn't this song be fun to sing at Quilt Retreats?
Ohhh the sewing machine, the sewing machine
A girl's best friend
If I didn't have my sewing machine
I'd a come to no good end
But a bobbin a bobbin and peddle a peddle
And wheel the wheel by day
So by night I feel so weary that I never get out to play

Ohhh the sewing machine, the sewing machine
A friend in need
If I didn't having my sewing machine
A wicked life I'd lead
But a bobbin a bobbin and peddle a peddle
And dream about romance
So by night I feel so weary that I never get out to dance

Ohhh the sewing machine, the sewing machine
Me pride and joy
If I didn't having me sewing machine
I'd a married James McCoy
But a bobbin a bobbin and peddle a peddle
And that's the end of Jim
'Cause by night I get so weary I don't even look good to him

Thanks for this. I do love my machine(s) but I was told that one of them (my go-to machine) no longer can be fixed if something goes wrong. I guess I have to begin the process of finding what I want to replace it when the time comes.
