Stick To Your Knitting 1923

I'd knit and knit
till it seemed like "Kingdom come"
Just do my bit
till my fingers all were numb!
How I used to wish
that I could run away and play,
but mother used to smile and say:

Just you stick to your knitting, dear,
and the hours will run.
Just you stay where you're sitting, dear,
and pretend it's fun.
Little fingers may ache
but bye and bye
comes chocolate cake
and then a great big slice
tastes twice as nice
when you know your knitting's done!

Just you stick to your knitting, dear,
and the hours will run.
Just you stay where you're sitting, dear,
and pretend it's fun.
Little fingers may ache
but bye and bye
comes chocolate cake
and then a great big slice
tastes twice as nice
when you know your knitting's done!

The boys I know
used to whistle going by,
and tease me, too,
'cause they said I was so shy!
Then they'd tell me
I was tids to mother's apron string
but mother used to smile and sing.

Just you stick to your knitting, dear,
and the hours will run.
Just you stay where you're sitting, dear,
and pretend it's fun.
Little fingers may ache
but bye and bye
comes chocolate cake
and then a great big slice
tastes twice as nice
when you know your knitting's done!

Just you stick to your knitting, dear,
and the hours will run.
Just you stay where you're sitting, dear,
and pretend it's fun.
Little fingers may ache
but bye and bye
comes chocolate cake
and then a great big slice
tastes twice as nice
when you know your knitting's done!
