The Sewing Machine

The Sewing Machine - Betty Hutton

Oh the sewing machine the sewing machine

A girl's best friend

If I didn't having 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

Oh the sewing machine the sewing machine

A helping hand

If I didn't having my sewing machine

I'd drink to beat the band

But a bobbin a bobbin and peddle a peddle

As busy as a bug

So by night I feel so weary that

I can hardly lift a mug

Oh 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

Oh the sewing machine the sewing machine

A pal so dear

If I didn't having my sewing machine

I'd try a stage career

But a bobbin a bobbin and peddle a peddle

So amateur night comes by

But by then I feel so weary that

I haven't the strength to try

Oh 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

Oh have I got a boss he looks like a ho's

His name's Joe Goit

If he didn't own the sewing machine

I'd a kicked him where it hurts

While a bobbin a bobbin and peddle a peddle

He keeps his eyes on me

Why I never never have kicked still remains a mystery

Oh I thread the needle and fix the shuttle

And put in the cloth and pull up the lever

And bobbin a bobbin and peddle a peddle

And wheel the wheel all day

Oh the sewing machine the sewing machine

The sewing machine the sewing machine

Is a girl's best friend

This is the end
