Motel: Dear sweet sewing machine,
I will promise to love,
Honor, and keep you polished and clean.
Oiled, greased, all you can eat.
If you will turn my satin and silk into sugar and salt.
Tzietel: Butter and milk.
And maybe a toy, a baby should have a toy.
Both: You have suffered neglect.
Our Love maybe before not anymore.
We need you if we're to make Old ends meet.
Do you know what you are?
Dear sweet sewing machine you'll come to me our own Salavar
