Stitchin’ Heaven Howdy

I stumbled across this while I was surfing around You Tube and just had to share it with all my sewing friends. Click here to start video clip… It is wonderful! Lyrics:

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

This was the opening scene from a 40s musical starring Betty Hutton who passed away in March at the age of 86. She is most remembered in “Annie Get Your Gun” and “The Greatest Show on Earth”.

Until we meet again, may your dayz be pieceful!
