Complete lyrics of this song, as well as, other oldies @ http://www.lyricsvault.net/songs/19631.html

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

    My aunt used to sing this to me when I was very little. It used to make me laugh. I’d forgot all about it until now when it all came back to me 40 years later. Now get this… In 1974 I started work for Courtholds the clothing makers as a trainee engineer. And In 1990 I started my own Industrial Sewing Machine supply and service business and i’m still at it.

    i’m still trying to find the bad words. there’s no swearing, there aren’t any suggestions. if u’re worried about the “bobbin’ and bobbin’” part, that’s a part of a sewing machine. so i don’t know what u r talking about
