Oh,
the sewing machine, the sewing machine,
a girl's best friend. If I didn't
have my sewing machine,
I'd have come to no good end.
But a -bobbin', a -bobbin',
a -pedal, a -pedal,
and wheel the wheel by day.
So by night I feel so weary
that I never get up to play.
Oh, the sewing machine,
the sewing machine,
a helping hand.
If I didn't have my sewing machine,
I'd drink to beat the band.
But a -boppin' a -boppin' a pedal,
a pedal 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 have my sewing ma chine,
a wicked life I'd lead.
But, a -bobbin, a -bobbin,
a -pedal, a -pedal
and dream about ro
mance all by night
I feel so weary
that I never get out to dance
Oh, the sewing machine,
the sewing machine,
a pal is so dear
If I didn't have my sewing machine
I'd try a stage career
But, a -bobbin, a -bobbin, a -pedal, a -pedal
till amateur night comes by
But by then I feel so weary
that I haven't the strings to draw
Oh, the sewing machine,
the sewing machine,
me pride and joy.
If I didn't have me sewing machine,
I'd have married James McCoy. What?
A -bobbin, a -bobbin, a -peddle,
a -peddlin'
That's the end of Jim Cause by night
I get so weary
I don't even look up to him
Oh
Have I got a boss
He looks like a horse
His name's Joe Goit
If he didn't own the sewing machine
I'd kick him where it hoits
While a -bobbin, a -bobbin,
a -peddle, a -peddle
He keeps his eyes on me
Why I never, never have kicked him
Still remains a mystery
Oh, I thread the needle,
and fix the shuttle,
and put in the cloth,
and pull on the lever,
and bob, and bob, and pedal,
a pedaling 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. you
